You want the buttons to stay in the 'down' state?

Hi Steve,

Yeah on hit stay in the down state,on rollover perform an animation and on rollout.

Now I did something like this:
Made a button.
Placed the button inside an mc.Frame1 is the normal state.onrollover it goes to frame2 stops at frame10 this is my rolloverstate.On frame2 and 10 on release go to frame11 so frame11 till 20 gives my rollout effect.
the state have this code on the buttonsthis is for but0)
on(release){
_parent._parent.num=0;
_parent._parent.buts(0);
_parent._parent.showHide(0);

}

To get the down state I made a new mc.Frame1 has theprevious mc.frame2 the downstate.Both frames have a stop();

these mc's(buttons) i gave names like but0,but1,...
On frame1 off those mc's I placed this code to get the down state.
function showHide(nm){
if(nb!=nm){
eval("but"+nm).gotoAndStop(2);
eval("but"+nb).gotoAndPlay(1);
nb = nm;
}
}

To apply actions to the buttons I placed code on the down state>onclipevent perform blablabla...

Pretty complex but it works maybe you know a better way because it took me a lot off time to get this working.
