My problem (besides being new to Flash):<br><br>I have eight buttons running in a Flash file in a left frame.&nbsp;&nbsp;The buttons run eight different Flash files in a right frame.<br><br>When the user clicks a button, I want the button's default graphic (mouse out, not mouse over)to change.&nbsp;&nbsp;<br><br>What I've tried is to have sixteen buttons (eight initially hidden, but perfectly overlapping the eight that are showing)on the page.&nbsp;&nbsp;Then I was hoping to have the mouse release event action flip the visibility of the clicked button and the one occupying the same space.&nbsp;&nbsp;<br><br>However, it looks as if I can't manipulate the visibility of a button.&nbsp;&nbsp;Or can I?&nbsp;&nbsp;Would another solution be to manipulate the visibilty of a layer?&nbsp;&nbsp;Can I do this through an action event?&nbsp;&nbsp;Are there any other solutions I might try?
 
Not sure if I understand you correctly.<br><br>Click on of 8 menu options. Change that button only in left frame and change right frame accordingly.<br><br>Set up left frame flash with on click button(X) jump to frame whichever and that has the menu as you want it.<br><br>In the action above, get URL (right frame) frame _main or whatever.<br><br>Thus the left hand movie has nine frames. Original and then one each after event.
 
I don't know what u mean ether but why don't you just put the mouse out and what else u want the buttons to do inside the button instead of the actual movie<br><br>Azmaramza<br><A HREF="mailto:t__whitehead@hotmail.com">t__whitehead@hotmail.com</A>
