Multi-State Button

Question

Hello,
I have a multi-state button in my movie. I want it to pause and play but I don't know what to enter into the "Parameters" box.
-COMMAND SENT - when switched ON           sendAllSprites #Toggle_On, the currentSpriteNum
                             when switched OFF           sendAllSprites #Toggle_Off, the currentSpriteNum
Please help!
Thanks.

> Thank you. Now, where do I put this code?
It can be used in several ways to tell the button to toggle -
as long as the
button sprite is drawn on stage, and have the multi-state
script is
attached.
Put in a framescript, like this:
(assuming that the button is in spritechannel 1)
on exitFrame me
sendsprite(1, #toggle, true)
end
or
Put in a script attached to the button sprite, like this:
property spriteNum
on beginSprite me
sendsprite(spriteNum, #toggle, true)
end
As a simple test:
- start the movie
- open the message-window (ctrl-m on windows..)
- write: sendsprite(1, #toggle, true), and press return
change 1 to the correct spritechannel, and toggle the button
on/off by using
true/false
