This is the first time I actually got down to doing a “real” site, and I know what I’m doing has been done before, but as this is my first time, please bear with me. The website is for a competition for a youth portal, and this is the rough layout (buttons + main content area). The color of the content area will mirror that of the buttons.

Currently I have a problem, that is the rollOver/rollOut state. The thing is I want it such that when the button is selected, it will stay in the fully-colored state, but when I rollover it again when selected, it will do the blurry-tween, and go out of the selected state. Can anyone help me here, the code i used is:

on(rollOver) {  
this.gotoAndPlay(2);  
}  
on(rollOut) {  
this.gotoAndPlay(10);  
}  
on(release) {  
this.gotoAndPlay(19);  
}

Other than that, comments are highly appreciated. I intend to embed the swf later, but currently it’s in a pop-up window.

Many thanks!
