Well, you could keep your button action as it is, but simultaneously, in you
button action, do a goto frame (with a stop action) where the frame it goes
to has an overlay of that button that is red at a higher layer to cover-up
your origional button.

Simple and works for V3.

>Hi Kids--I'm new to this list, so be gentle...

My simple goal is this: create buttons in Flash that, when clicked, change
their appearance to show what page you've gone to, and keep that appearance
as an indication of where you went. This Flash movie is a button bar in a
frameset.

For example, if the buttons are all black, and you click "Instructions",
that button turns red, loads the "Instructions" page in the content frame,
and stays red to show that you are on the "Instructions" page.

I've already developed most of this using Flash4, but it turns out the
client only has the Flash3 plugin and won't upgrade. If I try to use the
"Set Property" action, it fails, because it is not supported in Flash3.

How do you accomplish this in Flash3?

TIA!

Jeff
