Re: [flasher] Why won't button stay in down state?

[Steve Gadlin]

John -


A button will remain in "down" state while the mouse button is "down."  Once

you release the mouse button, the button will, as you're witnessing, revert

to its up or over state.


To achieve the affect you're going for, you'll need to place an invisible

button over a movie clip.  Your movie clip should contain the different

states of your button, and the invisible button should contain instructions

that direct the movie clip to its different frames.


Does that help?
