Here is my page: [URL] I want to be able to click the top pulldown and have it stay until i click anywhere again. Currently it is just a mouseover. I can't seem to figure out how to make this happen. I've tried the different states but no luck. If i wanted to make the moviego back up when clicked again, do i need to make a separate movieclip with the reverse animation and another layer in my button?
View 6 RepliesI have a menu with five nav buttons (atcually MovieClips). Each has three frame labels: "on", "stay", and "off". The rollover and rollout animations play flawlessly, but I'm at a loss as to how to give each button a sticky "active" state. I'd like the button to stay in it's active state until another button is clicked, then I would like it to play it's "off" animation. Each MC has this code:

I have 3 buttons, each with the same roll over state. What I'd like to do is when the button is clicked, it remains in the roll over state until something else happens.

I have this Movie Clip Drop-Down Menu, which has a button inside (Overview) that turns red when you roll over it ... When the Drop-Down Menus sub-buttons are clicked, the movie jumps to a frame labeled "WhoWeAre" or "OurMission"... When it lands on either frame, I want the word "Overview" to remain red, indicating that you are now in that section.
Can actionscript be written so that the "Over" state inside a button remains on once it reaches a new frame? I currently achieved this with a dirty hack, creating an ADDITIONAL menu with just the word "Overview" in red on the "Up" state, but it screws things up and the sub-buttons don't work once I reach either of the new frames for some reason.

If my picture takes up the area where the buttons are, the buttons slip underneath the image. How can I make the buttons stay on top all the time? My movie works fine as long as the picture that I load from a nearby directory does not cover the buttons..
I'm doing a simple 2 button menu. Each button is a movie clip with 3 labels for the states "none" "selected" and "hover". smartBtn needs to be set to "selected" on enter frame. When cinemaBtn gets clicked, smartBtn should go to its "none" state. But I'm not sure why smartBtn keeps on being selected.

how to get my magic buttons to stay 'selected' or highlighted until the next button is clicked. The highlighted state is 'released' (weird - but that's the case)

Code:
myButton.onRelease = onClick;
myButton.onRollOver = overOut;
myButton.onRollOut = overOut;

I have a series of buttons inside an array. I am trying to get the buttons so that once they are pressed, they remain in the over state. Which is a darker color than the up state. So that people know which button they have pressed. Is there an easy way to do this for buttons?

View 8 RepliesIs there a way of telling a MC button to have a hit state like a normal button? I have some text popping up away from my MC button that is included in the hit state. When I roll over the main button the text pops up. But also, when I roll over where the text pops up it also triggers the pop up animation.
View 2 RepliesThis is hard to explain. Basically the user needs to choose their sex and type in their name then press the continue button. The gender selection is a bathroom identificationesque picture of a girl and boy. The boy is blue and the girl is pink. When you roll over the boy, it becomes a lighter blue and when you roll over the girl it becomes a lighter boy.
What I don't know how to do is that when you click on the boy, it stays a lighter blue, and lighter pink for the girl. That way they can see what selection they made. Also, when you click the boy then click the girl, the girl will become highlighted and the boy no longer will be (so you can only choose one gender). How do I do this? And how do I tell the program to store the info for later use? (when gender is important). I know that this type of action is used often in games so hopefully someone can help me.
I have a menu with five items in it. Every menu item is two words, both grey, and is a button. When the button is rolled over the second word goes red. So far, so easy. However, when the button is clicked and sends the timeline to the correct frame label, I want that button to stay in its grey/red state, in other words its rollover state. Is it possible to label a frame inside a button timeline, in the same way as one would in a movie clip, and then send the play head to that?
Or maybe there are some really easy and obvious solutions that I haven't seen that I would be grateful to hear about.
Trying o make a moiveclip button (which works fine ) But I'm trying to get the MC to stay in the pressed position when on that page. So basically it stays red when on the page and when another button is clicked it go away. Here is the action script code I'm using that is not working. (as a normal buttons works great)
ActionScript Code:
on(release){
trace("yobutton")
_root.bottomLeft.gotoAndPlay("about");
_root.leftText.gotoAndPlay("about");
this.gotoAndStop("pressed");

Ok, I've search through the forums but none of the posts seem to work for me. I've got 4 buttons that each have an onRollOver, onRollOut, and onRelease function on them. I would like the onRollOver state to stay in place after the user clicks the button they're over. Then, when the user clicks on a different button, that buttons down state sticks, and the previous button's state unsticks and goes to the rollout function. I've read through and tried this thread:[URL]

View 4 RepliesI'm trying to make buttons that involve a character pointing to indicate interaction.When a button is interacted with (mouse over or down) the character's arm points to that particular button. I separated his body, so that it remains constant on the main stage, no matter which button is being interacted with.The problem is, when the user is not mousing over or clicking down on any button, the character has no arms (since only his body remains constant)!How do I resolve this?The only thing I thought of so far is if there's any way to create an up button state that includes the arm (right now I have nothing for mouse up) THAT ENDS when the next button is interacted with. Is that possible? If I put the arm in the up state (in addition to mouse over and down) it stays when the interaction is over, which poses a problem when the user interacts with the next button (the character ends up with double the arms since each button introduces a different set of arms pointing towards that particular button).
View 1 RepliesSomeone has created a map where there are little colored buttons over building locationsThe buttons were made so that when you hover your cursor over them, they will bring up a little chat bubble (like the ones you see in comics) with the appropriate street address text. What I cannot figure out is how to, after removing the cursor from over a button, make the text bubble stay put so that those who see the map can highlight then copy and paste the street address from it.

View 1 RepliesI have a button. When you rollover it, it shows a window next to it with some content. I want it so that if you roll off it will disappear, which I can do, but ALSO if the person clicks that same button, i want the window to stay visible, even if you roll off the button. So basically rollover = preview, click = shows permanently until closed. How can I do this?
So far I did on onRollOver event, an onRelease event, and an onRollOut event and only the rollover and rollout is working. I tried having it set a variable if the onRelease event is triggered and then if that variable was set, the rollout event wouldnt occur, but it didnt work.
I have a demo website consist of 3 pages.

i've made some buttons that on mouseover shows a larger picture above the button. when the cursor leaves that button though the picture disappears until the user mouses over the button again. is there a way to ensure that the picture stays up until the user mouses over another button (then they would see another image)?
