Hello everyone,

I’m sure there’s a simple way to do this but my brain has left me thinking I am an academy and it is time for it’s Spring Break. I think it might be somewhere in Mexico, but I just hope I don’t see it on one of those “Brains Gone Wild” videos…

So my problem is this:

I have a set of navigation buttons, each with rollOver states where they go blue. What I’d like to do is when the user clicks a button, it remains in the rollOver state until… something else happens.

Seems easy enough but like I said, my brain something something something.

Thanks!!
