Re: FLASH: how can i keep the "down" state with a button

[Chris Burke]

gerald,


with some help from folks on the list, I found that for such a button you

need to make it a MC, not a button. Just create the states within discreet

frames and put a Frame Action:stop on each. Label the frames "on", "over",

and "off" (in whatever order.)


In the "on" frame, put an Instance Action on the main image to tell it to

Go To the label 'over'. On the image in the 'over' frame, put an Instance

Action telling it: On RollOut: go to "on" label. Also on this image, put

another Instance Action telling it: On Press: go to "off" label.


It's easiest if you put this MC in a layer by itself. In any case, it needs

to persist throughout the section you want it active.


Hope this helps.
