Bob/Anil?,


This sounds like something which should be basic, but isn't really, imo,

since it requires movieclips and tell-targeting.  The best way I know of

to keep a button in a state (eg, red) until you click another button is

to put it into a movieclip with two frames, a blue (labelled off-blue)

and a red (labelled on-red), both with stop actions.  When the button is

clicked, goto and stop("on-red").  When something else is clicked,

tell-target the movieclip to goto and stop("off-blue").  


Regards,

Helen
