what menu are you talking about? if you mean just a regular navigation you can use the color object. if you mean the menu component check out ultrashock’s tutorial on their site.

btw-welcome!

ok so i did this

```auto
on (release) {
	myButton2._alpha = 50;
}

```

Is there a way to reset the alpha values for other buttons that has been pressed before .

Thanx
