[F8] MC Btn needs to stay _down...

Hi guys i am searching for the actionscript to get my mc btn to stay down.

could you guys help me out?

This is the code on my 1st frame in my btn:

stop();

onRelease = function(){
}


I just don't know how to script the function for it to stay down when clicked.

Thx for the help!

myButton_btn.onRelease = function(){
myButton_btn.enabled = false;
this.gotoAndStop(_down);
}

alright thats what i needed! enabled = false!!!

damn i didn't stay on _down ... thanks for the insight!

depending on how your button is setup:
i use a movieclip, I make a layer called labels, in this I make three labels _up, _over, and _down. the labels are over each corsponding state of my "button".

then when you use:
myButton.onRelease = function() the movie clip will act like a button.

So unless you have a label named "_down" in your button, the code above will not work.

yeah thats good, that's how I did it... it was all working except for the stop on _down! major problem but like I said the "myButton_btn.enabled = false;" script wasn't there so it was returning to the original state....

forgot the quotes:

this.gotoAndStop('_down');
