A little known trick in Flash:
Make a movieclip. Give it 3 frames and put frame labels on each named
_up, _over, and _down
Put a stop(); action on frame 1.
If you assign a button method to the movieclip, like onRelease,
onRollOver,
etc. it will behave just like a button on its own, going to the _up
_over
and _down frames automagically without any coding required.
You can make additional frames and put frame labels on them to your
heart's
desire. As long as those three frames are there and there's a
button method
assigned to the movieclip, it will behave like a button. You can use
.enabled = false to make it stop, just like a button.
So, to make a selected button (that isn't a toggle button), make a
fourth
frame "sel" (or something like that) and onRelease set its enabled
to false
and tell it to go to frame "sel". To unstick it, just set its
enabled to
true and it will start working again.
HTH,
Steven
