[F8] Set Text Format on a button

Hi

here is the code that I am using on my button. It works fine but what I would like to happen is when you click the button the text stays highlighted

Code:

---

// text formatting

// default text style
textStyle = new TextFormat();
textStyle.color = 0x000000;

// rollover style
rolloverStyle = new TextFormat();
rolloverStyle.color = 0xFF0000;

btn.onRollOver = function(){
        // change Services text color to red
        btnLabel.setTextFormat(rolloverStyle);
}
btn.onRollOut = function(){
        // change Services text back to black
        btnLabel.setTextFormat(textStyle);
}

---

use btn.onPress and insert your styling options within that,
eg.

code:

---

btn.onPress = function() {

	// change Services text color to red

	btnLabel.setTextFormat(rolloverStyle);

}

---

Hey,

thanks for the reply. The onPress does work but what I am trying to do is have the selected button remain highlighted or another color.

I hope I am asking this qurestion right. In trying to search out an answer I have had some trouble composing the right question.

In any case if you have some other ideas or thoughts on how to get this done I am open for suggestions

thnaks again
