Still got a button problem, please help...boo hoo

still trying to replicate the button behaviour on dixon film, i.e when the button is released it displays the hit state permanently so the user knows where they’ve been.

tried using a movie clip as a button but still no joy

this is the AS i’ve been using

on (rollOver) {
but1.gotoAndPlay(“over”);
}
on (rollOut) {
but1.gotoAndPlay(“out”);
}
on (release) {
but1.gotoAndStop(“hit”);
}

sorry for being stupid but i’ve just got back into Flash and it’s a different beast thesedays! Quite demoralising…
