Programatically switching to the over state

Hey all,

I'm designing a marking menu. I'd like to use an over state, so the user knows which item will be executed.

I'm extending SimpleButton, to get access to the button states in Flash. Is there a straight-forward way to use ActionScript to tell a button to switch to its over state even if the mouse isn't on the button?

Thanks!

Simplebuttons don't have the movieclip methods. I recommend you to convert your button to movieclip and use gotoAndStop
