hey guys.

Please help me; I cannot figure out how to do this in Actionscript 3.0:

Using **movie clip buttons** , how do you get the button to stay in the “mouse over” state after it has been clicked? I do not want the button to do anything at all after it is clicked.

I found this online and it works perfectly for actionscript 2.0 but i need it in 3.0. anyone know how to do this in 3.0?

```auto
MovieClip.prototype.checkMe = function() {
    if (this._currentframe == 2) {
        this.btn.enabled = true;
        this.gotoAndStop(1);
    }
};
btn_mc1.btn.onRelease = function() {
           btn_mc1.btn.enabled = false;
    btn_mc2.checkMe();
    btn_mc3.checkMe();
};
btn_mc2.btn.onRelease = function() {
    btn_mc2.btn.enabled = false;
    btn_mc1.checkMe();
    btn_mc3.checkMe();
};
btn_mc3.btn.onRelease = function() {
    btn_mc3.btn.enabled = false;
    btn_mc2.checkMe();
    btn_mc1.checkMe();
};

```

Please help and THANK YOU

The onReleasem onEnterFrame, onPress are now made by event listener. You now need to make

function MyPressfct(pEvent:MouseEvent) {  
//Do stuff  
}

myBtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE\_CLICK, MyPressfct);
