Keeping Button in Down State While In Use

[burroughs23]

Hello All,

I've been trying to create buttons which hold their "clicked" state until another button is clicked. The buttons are created with movies with three states and the script I'm using so far is

on (rollOver) {
gotoAndStop(2);
}
on (rollOut) {
gotoAndStop(1);
}
on (release) {
gotoAndStop(3);
}

on the level just above the Movie, that is, on the main Timeline.

What I can't seem to figure out is how to keep the "release" state until another button is clicked. Is there a way to "turn off" the rollOut state after the release state is activated? I've tried using break; but it doesn't do anything.

Also, the buttons move around the stage periodically and are each unique.

Thankyou!

Hey, the script you posted is for buttons only (not timelines). Try putting the code on the buttons ie. the first lot of code would be on frame 1/button and the second lot would be on frame 2 /button and so on to third.
