Random Button Selection

[Chip_Ster webforumsuser@macromedia.com]

I am creating a CDROM presentation using Director MX (Mac/PC delivery). This presentation has a couple of sections that have a number of buttons that can be clicked at random to access different topics. The problem I have is that I need to enable the enduser to click on the buttons in any random order, and have those buttons that have been clicked be grayed out and become inactive. Once ALL of the buttons have been clicked and the content displayed, the playhead needs to continue on to the next section. One of the areas where I need this is in a simple game. Once the game has been played I need to be able to reset the buttons if they choose to "Play Again".

Does anyone have a solution for this? If you need more clarification let me know.

Thanks

well you could try this

property spn,counta
on exitframe me
spn=me.spritenum
counta=0
end

on mouseup me
counta=counta+1
if counta<2 then
--do what you want here
end if
end


and for the greying out you may add this
property spn,counta
on exitframe me
spn=me.spritenum
counta=0
end

on mouseup me
counta=counta+1
if counta<2 then
--do what you want here
else
sprite(spn).color=rgb(111,111,111)
end if
end


but thats totally untested code though

Thanks to both of you for your responses. I have not had time yet to try these scripts, although I have taken the time to download and save them. I will let you know when I get to them and if they work for me.

Thanks again
