Problems with changing colors of buttons.

[jef]

Hi,

I’m working on a menu that has to change the color of a button (a movieclip with a invisible button on it), when you move your mouse over it. Next to that, when you click a certain button, the color has to change, and the button must become inactive, till another button is clicked.

The “mouseOver’s” work, but the I can’t make the button change till another button is clicked. For this I use the following code on a keyframe:

stop();
//change the color of button 1, and make it inactive
_root.button1.button._visible = false;
_root.button1.tekstkader.textColor = 0xFFFFFF;
var kleur1 = new Color("_root.button1.witvlak");
kleur1.setRGB(0x000000);
// turn back to original state: button 2, and make it active
_root.button2.button._visible = true;
_root.button2.tekstkader.textColor = 0x000000;
var kleur2 = new Color("_root.button2.witvlak");
kleur2.setRGB(0xFFFFFF);

Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong? Because the code above don’t work. I will add a fla, to make the problem more clear.

Thanks,
Jef

I am using another code to make the menu I described work. It is a function that I call, everytime a button is clicked. I want the button become inactive (make the transparant button on th movieclip invisible) color of the text on the button to change, but the last doesn't work.

function VeranderMenu(button) {
     for (x=1; x<6; x++) {
          if (x != button) {
               _root["button"+x].button._visible = true;
               _root["button"+x].tekstkader.textColor = 0x000000;
          } else {
               _root["button"+x].button._visible = false;
               _root["button"+x].tekstkader.textColor = 0xFFFFFF;
          }
     }
}

the action I use on the button:

on (release) {
     _root.VeranderMenu(1);
}

I will also add the new fla

Can anyone tell me how to make the text on the button change color, when it is clicked?
