To make a button become bigger convert the button to a movieclip then put the following code on the movieclip:

```auto

on (press) {
	_width=200;
	_height=200;
}

```

Experience with the above.  
I don’t understand this: with another image to show in wich option is the user in.

I haven’t discovered how to do what you have explained. Maybe someone else could help you. To disable a button do what is below.

Put the following code on each button:

```auto

on (release) {
// disabling a button. GreenButton = instance name.
GreenButton.enabled = false;
}

```

a few ideas,  
#1 you could just have several different frames and when a user clicks for different page or content, it could go to that specific frame, and you could have a disabled button there or a different looking image or whatnot. that’s the easiest way really.

#2 if you are loading movie clips in or external swfs or something you could set it up like this:

lets say it’s for the “about us” page

you have the button “aboutButt” on the main timeline  
then on the frame you set variables, like  
enabledB = yes;  
aboutButton = instancename;  
and then, when you load in “aboutMC” you can set enabledB = no;

and then on “aboutButt” you can have an if statement…

if (enabledB = no) {  
aboutButton.enabled = false;  
}  
else {  
aboutButton.enabled = true;  
}

i guess. i mean. that makes sense to me. i never tried it though. 🙂
