Question about controlling button frames

[moesciphish]

Ok.. so I want to be able to move a button to say the Down frame when I call an action from the scene. I guess to better explain this.. I have a button that scrolls a dynamic text with onpress. But then I have it so it also scrolls with onkeypress("<down>"). I want to be able to show the button's down state when the down key is pressed, as if you where pressing the button with the mouse. Is this possible? I tried gotoAndPlay/Stop(down) within the on keypress("<down>") script for the button's actionscript (and several other similar commands) but nothing works. Can you call a certain frame of a button?

Thanks

Hi,

You can use a movieclip as a button and give it any button method you want.....

mcName.onPress=function(){
do something;
}

mcName.onRelease=function(){
do something;
}

mcName.onRollOver=function(){
do something;
}

mcName.onRollOut=function(){
do something;
}

Yeah.. that makes sense. I was just wondering if you could control pre-made button clips through. But, that's simple enough to just copy the button to a movie clip and then I can control which frames. I'm using a button from the MX button library, so that's why I was wondering if you could move to a certain frame of a button in an actionscript, but I'll just write my own for a new button.

Thanks
