How do you make a switch/toggle??

[Zax0r]

heres quick question, who do you set a button to be a toggle. Meaning, who do you set it so that when you click it once, its set down and stays down untill you click it agin and it returns to normal?

Use a variable to tell the switch which state it should be in. On or off.

mySwitch.switched = 1 // on
mySwitch.onRelease = function(){
this.switched = !this.switched;
this.gotoAndStop(this.switched + 1);
}

Your movie mySwitch would have two frames. Frame on would be the on frame and frame two would be the off frame. Don't forget to put a stop action on frame one of the movie itself.
