Another AS3 “newbie” challenge…the design:

1. 

```
  I have three buttons aligned horizontally.

```

2. 

```
  When clicked, a button visually eases up (say 10 pixels). 

```

3. 

```
  Only one of the three buttons may be in the &#8220;up&#8221; position at any given time. If any button is in the &#8220;up&#8221; position when another button is clicked, it will ease back into its original &#8220;down&#8221; position. It may not be directly returned to the "down" position by clicking it while in the "up" position.

```

4. 

```
  The leftmost button is initialized in the &#8220;up&#8221; position.

```

Can this be done simply, using AS3?  
Thanks in advance!
