how do i change the colour of a button to show that it has already been selected so that the user can know which buttons he has seen

thanks

Do you want to show something when the person has gone over the button, or when the person has actually visited where that button goes?

If the former, then just change the color in the over stage of the button...

i want it to be a different colour to show that the button has already been viewed

hmmm...what does the button do? Does it go to another web page?
If so, check out Robert Kendall's Connection system at http://www.wordcircuits.com which gives a way to track which pages have been viewed.

thanks for your help but im not sure youre getting it, on www.designchapel.com in the portfolio section when you select one of there works sometimes a small sub menu shows underneath and when you select the buttons they change colour permantely so that you know you have already viewed that button
sorry for the long example but its the only way i can explain

thanks

hmmm... it is probably then a script on the button, then. I wish I could help!

Several ways you could do it...

One is to put each button in a 2 frame movie clip, with stop actions on both frames. Add a modified graphic symbol over the button on the second frame. In the first frame's button script, add an action to move this clip to it's second frame, along with any other action you have in there.
