Hi Guys,

I was wondering if its possible to show a button’s hit state on a specific frame?

Basically, I have a navigation menu on the left side and then when someone clicks on the “Portfolio” button, it’ll go to the frame named “portfolio” and play… so… when the user is on this frame, i want them to not be able to click on “Portfolio” button again and also want it to show the animation that i have on the “Hit” frame of the button…

here is what i have, which doesn’t work:ne:

```auto
 
btn_movie.mov_btnPort.btnport.onRelease = function()
{
 gotoAndPlay ("portfolio");

 btn_movie.mov_btnPort.btnport.gotoAndPlay("Hit");
};

```

btn\_movie = is a movie clip placed on the stage  
mov\_btnPort = is a movie clip placed in the “btn\_movie” movie clip  
btnport = is the porfolio button

thanks for in advance for any help/suggestions! :thumb2:

cheers :hat:
