Toggle Button

What's the best way to do a toggle button? My method doesn't seem to work:

Click the button.

Move the button off screen.

Move the new toggle button (which had been off screen) in to it's place.

Do an action (eg silent audio)

Should that work?

Use layers.

Click the button | Hide Layer 1

                 | (Action)

                 | Show layer 2

Good idea. I guess it's time to upgrade. <img src="smileys/smiley36.gif" border="0" align="middle" /> Thanks!

I think you have layers in the free version.

There are...but only four and I'm using them all already. <img src="smileys/smiley1.gif" border="0" align="middle" />

Take a Sprite and build each "toggle" state a one frame of the animation. Then simply step through the frames.

Weishaupt So something like this? When touched/clicked, it goes to frame 1, but going back to frame 0 doesn't work.

If you use just one boolean it should work.

Since you did not post your capx, I can not fix it for you

As Weishaupt said, use only a single boolean (for example "back")

Make event 7 a condition "System: else" (no boolean check)

Since you are changing the value of back in event 6, in your current code, event 7 also executes, changing again the values making it look like it's not working, when in fact both events are executed in a row.

Thank you guys! I didn't even know where to find the "else". It works great now. I can toggle all my buttons!
