Keeping button like menu in a depressed / down / focus state

We have floating menus across the bottom of our application that look like a row of buttons and would like the last button pressed to show some kind of focus.

This focus could be like any html button that you click on or hold the mouse down on and move off or maybe some kind of transition effect. Basically, something to let the user know that they clicked the menu button so they don't keep clicking it.

Here is our menu definition:

with(buttonMenuStyle=new mm_style()){
headerborder="3px outset #CC9933";
headerbgcolor="black";
onborder="3px inset #CC9933";
align="center";
fontfamily="arial, helvetica, sans";
fontsize="8pt";
fontstyle="bold";
fontweight="900"
itemheight=23;
offcolor="#FFCC66";
oncolor="#FFCC66";
separatorimage="/images/transparent.gif";
separatorsize=5;
overfilter="Fade(duration=0.2);Alpha(opacity=100);Shadow(color=#222222', Direction=135, Strength=6)";
}

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

Have you tried using a clickbgcolor, or clickcolor or clickimage. I don't see any button image coded so don't know if you are using an image or not, if you are you could use a clickimage so the image changes when it is clicked. http://www.milonic.com/itemproperties.php You can find the various click properties here. There is also a clickclass so you could use css to set something up, just call the class in the items, since you are using the same style for those click items you could put it in the style section http://www.milonic.com/styleproperties.php

Hope that helps.
