Help with a Text Format on a Button

Hello,

I don’t really know how to compose this question, bear with me…

Here is the code that I am using right now. Works fine. When the button has been selected I would like the button to reflect that selection with a color change. In other words remain highlighted.

EDIT: this would be the “down” state if you were to use a button symbol.

Thanks,

// text formatting

// default text style
textStyle = new TextFormat();
textStyle.color = 0x000000;

// rollover style
rolloverStyle = new TextFormat();
rolloverStyle.color = 0xFF0000;

btn.onRollOver = function(){
    // change Services text color to red
    btnLabel.setTextFormat(rolloverStyle);
}
btn.onRollOut = function(){
    // change Services text back to black
    btnLabel.setTextFormat(textStyle);
