    Completely Stumped

    I have not formally read anything about Flash, dreamweaver or fireworks, but I have a question about handling events concerning onmouseover, and onmouseclick.
    Let me first ask this. I am using a nice flash button on my companies splash page. If it is clicked once a little green light comes one. Well, my vision is that once the button is pressed once I want the website to appear in a frame above the button, in a thumbnail size. (sounds cool huh?) IS THIS EVEN POSSIBLE though?
    Then once the button is clicked again the website opens.
    The reason for this vision is because my splash links to 3 different websites and I want each flash button to do the same thing for each website.
    I have been reading for 3 weeks and cannot find no way to accomplish this without learning a total new scripting language, or object oriented scripting language. Can anyone help me please? Thanks.

    Yes for all three
    Dreamweave is the easy, can do this.
    Create a button.
    for you website you will need to make a layer. place a image of the website. and make a link if you want.
    You will need to make scripe in the behaviors pointing to the layer

    In the Layer Windows make it hidden.

      could just set up a variable to hold the info of how many times the button has been clicked.

        Well - I have tried both of these ways, I guess the only thing that I cannot figure out is the coding... I do not understand the coding. onmouseclick: I'd love to have a complete example of the parameters that are available for this event.

          use something like

          first make a button, then a movie clip out of the button (wow how much more control does that give us, i do it now just out of habit)

          use on(enterframe)
          clicked = 0;

          then on(mouseup)
          clicked = ++clicked;
          //rest of the actions

          will put together an example if you need it still
