Sorry, while the larger Lingo scripting environment has various methods of

routing events and messages, these constructs aren't in the small, fast

Flash Player.


But if you change your button's default condition from "release" to

"press", then you wouldn't expect to see the down state, right? This action

would execute when the button is clicked, so you'd branch off or whatever.

The default "release" gives you a down state in the button, because nothing

actually happens until you let the mouse up.


If you use the "release" event handler, then does this look as you wish...?
