Hello all,

Ive got this movie, which in the main stage has about 10 buttons and a target
for each of these buttons call another external swf. These buttons are also
external swf that are loaded on the first frame. What I need is: when the user
click on button "A", an external swf is loaded into the target, and a bolder
button "A" takes the button "A" (not bold) place. The trick to use a second "A"
(bold one) was to let the user know where he is. So to make "A" go back to the
original state (not bold) when button "B" is pressed, I put a code to call all
original buttons (not bold) everytime a button (any) is pressed. Everything is
working fine. The problem is, everytime a buttons is pressed, all of them
blinks, which is not good. Any ideas of how to sort this out?

If any one would like to have a look: http://www.uls-uk.com/uls_main_stage.fla

Many thanks

why are you using new buttons for different states? you can either use a button
instance to create a down state or you can make a movieclip with multiple
frames that has both states of the button, you should not have to keep loading
all these buttons everytime you click. I'd suggest searching the forums for
navigation, because there are several topics on the subject of showing a menu
item selected and then resetting when another button is clicked.
