hey, i was wondering if anyone would be keen to convert this to AS3 for me? ive had a go but can only get the rollovers/out working not the selected button function… I tried using event.currentTarget but i dont know how to reset the previous selected button…
Heres the AS2 script:

// create an array of all nav buttons in group
var groupinfo:Array = [birds, dogs, bears, giraffes, mice];
// create constants to define start and stop of grow and shrink sequences

var GROWSTART:Number = 10;
var GROWSTOP:Number = 19;

}
// doClick: 1) return previously selected button to normal, 2) show visual

delete this.onEnterFrame; // stop activity on selected mc
this.gotoAndStop(GROWSTOP); // change appearance of selected mc
activebtn = this; // update pointer to current selection
}
// assign functions to each event for each button in the group

for (var mc in groupinfo) {
groupinfo[mc].onRollOver = doRollOver;
groupinfo[mc].onRollOut = doRollOut;
//groupinfo[mc].onRelease = doClick;
}
}
init();
