rollover state

[manfishj]

Hi,
I'm relatively new to Flash. I've got a question. I know how to make a button with a rollover state...however...this is what I want to do..

I want to click on a play button for the sound to play. As long as the sound is playing, I want the play button to remain in its rollover state. Then, when the pause button is pressed, I want the pause button to remain in its rollover state for as long as its paused.

How do I make this happen? Thanks in advance.

So your play and pause button are the same but change when pressed...

The way I would do it is like this:

* Create your play and pause buttons (its probably a good idea to have them roughly the same size as well)
* Create a movie clip with two keyframes in it. Add stop actions to both frames. Give the movie clip a name...something like playpause
* Drag an instance of the play button into keyframe 1 and an instance of the pause button into keyframe 2
* Add actions to the play button which say:

on (release) {
tellTarget (_root.playpause.gotoAndStop(2)) {
}
}

* Add actions to the pause button which say:

on (release) {
tellTarget (_root.playpause.gotoAndStop(1)) {
}
}

That should do it. If you have any problems, I can email you a simple FLA which'll give you some idea of what to do.
