    Button Question

    Greetings all.

    This should be easy. I have simple white square buttons. Once a user clicks it, it should change to grey and stay that way. I'm basically trying to show the history of a user's click.

    Any info would be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks in advance!

    will this just change once? Or will it toggle to different colors every time it's clicked?

    Place/Add this code to your button:

    -------------------------------------------------

    on(release){
    myColor = new Color(box);
    myColor.setRGB(0xff9933);
    }


    --------------------------------------------------

    "box" = the name of your button (not the library name, but the name in the properties box under where it says "button")

    "ff9933" = your hexidecimal color... just put in the one you want.

    Enjoy!

    Ungh, all I see is the Symbol Properties icon located on the Library panel. And on the Instance panel, there's only Behavior and track options.

    Sorry, still lost.

    are you using flash mx? Its the huge banner like box going across the bottom of the screen when you click on a symbol. You can go to window>properties if you still don't see it. It tells you all the info about the clip and there is a white box to input a name for your ojbect... input the name "box" <-no quotes. If you are using flash 5... i don't remember where that input box was I think there is a properties window with a section to input the name....

    in 5, there no way to name a button object. if you are on Flash 5, embed the button in an mc and develop the effects you want in the mc rather than in a button. you can label mcs in 5.

    Thanks for the help. I couldn't get it to work but I ended up cheating a bit and I still got the desired effect.

    Thanks again.
