hi there,  
i use movie clips as my buttons.  
within these there is a transparent movie clip that tells it to go to different frames depending on the mouse action as such.

on(release, rollOver){  
this.gotoAndStop(2);  
}  
on(rollOut, dragOut){  
this.gotoAndStop(1);  
}  
on(press){  
this.gotoAndStop(3);  
}

but i also want once the user has clicked on a button for the button text/state to change so as the user may know where he has been.

is that clear?  
how do i it?

}
on(rollOut, dragOut){

		this.gotoAndStop(1);
	} else {
		this.gotoAndStop(3)
