Hi,  
Can anyone explain to me how i can add a ‘visited’ state to a button, in addition to the rollover and out states?  
I would like visitors to see which places they have alredy been to.

Thanx,

Rolf

I was actually after the same thing.

Thanks Claudio.

One question

How can i get those buttons to load external MCs.

I can get the 1st one to load an external MC using

[AS]

onClipEvent (mouseUp) {  
unloadMovieNum(1);  
loadMovieNum(“loaded.swf”, 1);  
}

[/AS]

but when changing the other 2 buttons to load different  
MCs it continues to load the 1st one. (loaded.swf)

Any ideas??

thanks again

```auto

/*
your button is in fact a movie clip with 3 frames
frame 1 is normal state
frame 2 is over state
frame 3 is visited state
name your buttons button1, button2, button3 and so on...
*/
total = 3;//number of buttons
movies_array = ["movie1.swf", "movie2.swf", "movie3.swf"];//array containing the movies
this.onEnterFrame = function() {
	for (var i = 1; i<=total; i++) {
		if (this["button"+i]._currentframe != 3) {
			if (this["button"+i].hitTest(_xmouse, _ymouse, false)) {
				this["button"+i].gotoAndStop(2);
			} else {
				this["button"+i].gotoAndStop(1);
			}
		}
	}
};
for (var i = 1; i<=total; i++) {
	this["button"+i].temp = i-1;
	this["button"+i].onPress = function() {
		loadMovieNum(movies_array[this.temp], 100);
		this.gotoAndStop(3);
	};
}
