Hi all

Flash beginer, sorry if this is a simple question.

I’m working on a new site for the company I work for and I want to have a flash menu. See my example

[http://www.jaybe.co.uk/zzz.html](http://www.jaybe.co.uk/zzz.html)

I’ve managed to get the buttons glowing on the roll over and then returning to the original state on roll out, this looks really nice and I’m happy with it but I want:-

When a button is clicked like beds for instance I want this to remain with a large glow ie. the roll over state until a new button is pressed. When the new button is clicked this will then become highlighed so the user always knows which page they are on. Only one button can have a down state at a time.

I will appreciate any help but please bear in mind that my action script isn’t great. I undestand what I’m looking at but i find writing it difficult but I’m determined to learn.

Thanks
