I searched the whole place looking for some help with buttons. I need to find some instructions (pretty thorough instructions) about how to make a button with a visited state. I know it involves some buttons and a movie clip but I can't seem to find a post or tutorial that helps me put it all together and make it work.
Any help would be appreciated.
If you are trying to make a button that changes to a different color when you click on it.
1.Draw a rectangle.
2.Make sure the rectangle is selected.
3.Press F-8 to convert to a symbol.
4.Choose Button.
5.Right click your button go to edit.
6.This is your buttons movie clip screen.
7.In the timeline under layer1 click the first frame and set its action to:
stop;
8.Insert a new keyframe and notice it has the same rectangle in it.
9.select the rectangle and fill it with a different color.
10.set the actions for frame two to:
stop;
11.Click the blue back arrow near the upper left area.
12.Your back at your main movie.
13.Now make sure its selected
14.Go to the actions screen
15. enter this code
On(release){
_this.gotoAndStop(2);
}
16.Test the movie it should work.

Thanks guys for the replies, but my next question would be, where does the code go to link the button to an object?
So when you click the button not only does it go to the visited state but it also brings up the new window, in my case a new picture.
I am working on a site where they have some images that will come up and I want the viewer to see which image they have already viewed as well as see the image when they click on a button.
Thanks again.
