Im developing a website for my employer - im having a issue with 2 effects with my button.

http://alteredimage.com/newTest/vyvanseContent.swf

in thise movie you will see a series of images / buttons on the bottom.

1)The first issues is when you rollover any of the buttons you will see theres a white flash - this is what i want the issue im having though is when you click on one of these buttons and release the button plays the "over" state again ------ How do i fix this so that doesnt happen.

2)The 2nd, is a feature i would like to add - i would like the button to mark itself when you select that option ( so the user knows what "page" there on. ------ How is this done?


I appreciate the help ahead of time

Thanks

can you post how you created the button? What mc's, images, alpha-blends, etc.., you have in each status-frame (hover, press, ...)?

To mark a button, you'll have to use ActionScript: You need to grab the instance of the button (using _root.my_button_name), and then add something that would make it look like it has been selected (such as a border)

you think you can give me an example of the actionscripting for the the "mark" button / the active state?

give this a try:

mybtn.emphasized = true; 

This will draw a blue rectangle around your button

Have a look at this page for changing the settings of the button: http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flash/qu..._as3/#section9
