Greetings and Thanks

Create a global variable that tracks the on/off.

Create an event that changes the variable whenever the button is hit. So for example:

On touch myButton

If myVariable = 0

Set myVariable = 1

else

Set myVariable = 0

Then for the state of the button, set the frame to match your variable.

myButton animationFrame = myVariable

Just change your "activo" variable type to BOOLEAN

Now when you touch your sprite , the boolean "activo" switch between TRUE & FALSE.

If Activo is true : set frame 1

If Activo is false : set frame 0

Just change your "activo" variable type to BOOLEAN

Now when you touch your sprite , the boolean "activo" switch between TRUE & FALSE.

If Activo is true : set frame 1

If Activo is false : set frame 0

GREAT works perfect!

Thanks friend.

You don't need a separate variable at all. You already have two values that hold the state: the frame numbers themselves. Also, you method is inefficient as the frames are set every tick. This method only changes the frame 'on touched'. (Doesn't make much difference yet, but as things get bigger, it's better practice to reduce overhead).

blackhornet're right, what I showed has a condition that is not necessary. it is preferable to use the condition of the frame directly.

Thanks blackhornet you CAPX run perfect.

There are things that even I can not understand as "ELSES" the "FOR", "FOR EACH" and "booleans"

I need some explanation "FOR DUMMIES".

You are very efficient!!!
