Tony,
This is how I do it... this example is code for the "About" button on
the root timeline.
<code>
aboutBut.onPress = function() {
if (_global.currentBtn == this) {
this.enabled = false;
} else {
curMC = _global.currentBtn;
curMC.enabled = true;
curMC.onRollOut(); //sets the rollover effect back to a static
mode
}
};
aboutBut.onRelease = function() {
_global.currentBtn = this;
this.enabled = false;
sectLoadSeq("about.swf"); //a function to load the section which
does other stuff...including setting the button
// clicked to the rollOver state to signify the current
section selected.
};
</code>

Ok, take a look at my scribble. Notice that onRelease, the about
button
loads "resources/about.swf". Great, but if "resources/about.swf" is
already
loaded and you release the button, about.swf loads all over again. If
about.swf is already loaded I would like the about button to ignore
onRelease – or something like that.
----------------
mainMenu.menu01.about.onRollOver = function() {
this.gotoAndPlay(2);
};
mainMenu.menu01.about.onRollOut = function() {
this.gotoAndPlay(_totalframes-_currentframe);
};
mainMenu.menu01.about.onRelease = function() {
this._parent._parent._parent.grassAni01.gotoAndPlay("playOut");
this._parent._parent._parent.workingHereAni01.gotoAndPlay
("playOut");
this._parent._parent._parent.nurses.gotoAndPlay("playOut");
this._parent._parent._parent.about.loadMovie("resources/
about.swf", 1);
};
