buttons -- keeping the "over" state after click

[Curisco]

Howdy folks,
If some one has asked the same question then i'm sorry i must have missed it.

Here's the thing.
i have six buttons with which all have an "over" state.
when the person clicks the button i would like the over state to ramain "active" while they are on the respected page, (as to confirm which page there on). Then, when on to the next button the rollover effect still works as normal untill of course the persons decides to click releasing the "over" state on the previous button...thus repeating the effect.

The closest i can think of as an example would be in HTML like the "hover" state remaining active after onMouseout.

Once as always, thanks for your time and eventual help.

ok here is one way. the buttons are not buttons but movie clips (movie clips work as buttons in MX)

2 movie clips with instance names ans a dynamic text field inside...main timeline code

clip1.onRelease = function(){
//what you want it to do
changeText(1);
}

clip2.onRelease = function(){
//what you want it to do
changeText(2);
}


function changeText(x){
switch (x) {
case 1:
clip1.t_field1.textColor = "0000FF";
clip2.t_field2.textColor = "333333";
//3,4,5 etc
break;
case 2:
clip2.t_field2.textColor = "0000FF";
clip1.t_field1.textColor = "333333";
//3,4,5 etc
break;
default:
trace ("no text&quot
}
}
