How to make a push button 1

[hovercraft]

Sorry to be a pain today.
I've been googlling trying to find a tutorial to explain how to make a push button. With no luck.
I've found tutorials to make a button, even animated buttons.
But what I'm looking for is information on a simple push button.

for instance:
in the UP state the button would have a beveled edge but during the DOWN state the bevel would not be there.

If I change the filter on the button it effects all states.

Could someone explain how to accomplish this or perhaps explain how the pre-packaged push buttons work.

Thank you in advance!
Dave

Using this and adding the bevel effect to only the UP or whatever state?

Again, Thank You!

So there's no way to use Flash's in-house filters on a button for a specific state?

There is, here's a barebones example:

import flash.filters.BevelFilter;
var bevelFilter:BevelFilter = new BevelFilter();
mcBtn.filters = [bevelFilter];
mcBtn.onRelease = mcBtn.onReleaseOutside=function ():Void {
	this.filters = [bevelFilter];
};
mcBtn.onPress = function():Void  {
	this.filters = [];
};

Ah, so you can through ActionScript but not through the GUI?

That's right, filters are only accessible through script.

You could always just make 2 pictures, one for the UP state and the other for the down, if you can't find any other solution. This is the most tedious way though, thought I'd throw it out though.
