Button Code (Help)

[mcmuney]

I'd like to use one button multiple times and when the button is clicked I want it to stay a certain color. How do I do this?

Example:
-The button color is gray
-The button over color is red
-The button down color is green

Once a button is clicked, I want the button color to remain green (button down color) until another button is clicked.

How can I achieve this?

The way i do it is setup a variable that tracks which button has been clicked. The onRealease function swaps the _name of the button in var currentButton to the new button _name.

Then I run a function that just "colors" the currentButton which is usually tied into the onMouseOut handler as in the following pseudo code:

onMouseOut
if currentButton != this._name
do rollOut // didn't click it
else
doMaintainHighlight // did click it

This way your normal onRollOver code should still affect the currently selected button.

Good Luck with your project.

Thanks for the post, this sounds like it will do the job, but I'm a beginner and need some some instructions that a bit more basic.

Thanks again.
