hey guys.

Please help me; I cannot figure out how to do this in Actionscript 3.0:

Using movie clip buttons, how do you get the button to stay in the "mouse over" state after it has been clicked? I do not want the button to do anything at all after it is clicked.

I found this online and it works perfectly for actionscript 2.0 but i need it in 3.0. anyone know how to do this in 3.0?

MovieClip.prototype.checkMe = function() {
    if (this._currentframe == 2) {
        this.btn.enabled = true;
        this.gotoAndStop(1);
    }
};
btn_mc1.btn.onRelease = function() {
           btn_mc1.btn.enabled = false;
    btn_mc2.checkMe();
    btn_mc3.checkMe();
};
btn_mc2.btn.onRelease = function() {
    btn_mc2.btn.enabled = false;
    btn_mc1.checkMe();
    btn_mc3.checkMe();
};
btn_mc3.btn.onRelease = function() {
    btn_mc3.btn.enabled = false;
    btn_mc2.checkMe();
    btn_mc1.checkMe();
};

Thank you!!!

another question.

i want each button to go to another "page" (i guess it would be another frame) and i want to be able to go back and forth between pages no matter what page i am on. I have been able to for example get "button a" to go to "page 2" but when i select "button 2" to bring me back to "page 1" i get an error.

let me know if that makes sense.
thanks again!

Well, if you look inside of the "content" MC, you'll see four labeled frames, the names I gave those frames are used in the script on the main timeline in the "actions" layer.

It's this line that will make the "content" mc switch frames:

content.gotoAndStop(e.currentTarget.name);

The "currentTarget.name" will be the instance name of the button, so "one", "two" or "three".
The "e" is just the name of the variable declared when the function is called:

function btnPress(e:MouseEvent):void
{
...
}
