i realize this probably a fairly simple question and also that i should have used movieclips for my buttons but i got lazy and used buttons for some of them

is there an easy way to make my button stay “on” after its clicked? i need something fairly easy that i can then go apply to a bunch of buttons. obviously it need it to turn off once another button is clicked as well. hmm…
