Carl,
Why do it in lingo??
You could also set a "toggle" variable in your flash movie, check from
within and set your button accordingly.
You can then use getURL("lingo:....") to set a var in director so that you'd
know wether it has been clicked or not.
//Make a movie clip, and use 2 frames, the first one an upstate (= button -
with overstate) and on the second frame a depressed state, then attach this
to your movie clip
onClipEvent (mouseUp)
{
if (depressed = 0)
{
depressed = 1;
this.gotoAndStop(2);
} else //dont know if you want to toggle
{
depressed = 0;
this.gotoAndStop(1);
}
}
//you can use the buttons in the movie clip to put your stuff to do on.
//simple huh
HTH,
Chris.

Subject: <lingo-l> Controlling Flash Buttons?
Dear List,
In D8. Cross-platform.
I have some .SWF members that are Flash buttons. Can I control them from
Lingo?
What I'd like to do is make it stick in the 'down' state when clicked.
I can play with the buttonsenabled property, and that's a start, but
setting the .frame doesn't finish the job, and nothing else seems
applicable.
Is this possible? Have I missed something? Or should I just have them as
straight Flash animations that I _can_ control with Lingo? I bet it's no
harder than trying to mess with the buttons on the fly.
