Okay. Please forgive my ignorance, and thank you in advance for any suggestions.

The site uses frames, and ONLY the buttons are being done with Flash (rest will be HTML-based). The buttons (Flash portion) are within the left frame, and the content within the right frame.

There are 2 buttons. When button 1 is rolled over, the color of the button changes, and a graphic pops up elsewhere within the Flash portion. [I know how to make the button change color, but not how to call a separate graphic.]

When the button is released:

1) the page in the right frame appears [I know how to do this part]

2) the graphic and button related to that page's content remains highlighted until button 2 is rolled over, at which time a new graphic will appear in place of the original one. But the original graphic will remain upon mouseoff (unless the second option is selected, thus calling a new page in the right frame).

If you need more details, I'll be happy to provide. In reality, there are more than 2 buttons, but this is the gist of it.

Thanks again.

very simple. see the setProperty tutorial and investigate using the _visble property. make each of the images you want to display an MC with an instance name and set them to be visible or invisible based on which button it currently moused over... (make sure you've read the first 4 tutes before attempting this).
