Hi,  
I know there are similar questions here that have been answered, but after trying to make sense of it, I still can’t get this to work.  
Based on an array, I attach a number of MovieClips from the Library. On release they go to a certain frame, representing the “pressed” state of the button. The problem is, that I can’t figure out how to reset the last pressed button back to it’s original state…  
Here is the Actionscript code I have so far:  
ActionScript Code:
