Image swapping? Like rollovers? There is a state for active, regular, and pressed. Just make an image for each.

What do you mean by image swapping?
Are you looking to open a pop-up window?

image swapping see www.twosmalldogs.com/print.html (http://www.twosmalldogs.com/print.html)
I know they need to be buttons with a
on mouse over = true
and then maybe a loadmovie
false = unloadmovie

I'm still unclear about what you're really trying to do with the image swapping...but I don't think you want to be loading and unloading movies on a mouse OVER. Can you show an example of what you're trying to do, or talk us through it perhaps?
Ryan's going to kill me for providing the pop-up info, but here you go:
on your button in flash -
on (release) {
getURL('javascript:openNewWindow('http:/www.whatever.html','thewin','height=750,width=625, toolbar=no,scrollbars=no') ');
}
on the HTML page hosting the flash inside the <head> tag -
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE=JavaScript>
function openNewWindow(URLtoOpen, windowName, windowFeatures) {
newWindow=window.open(URLtoOpen, windowName, windowFeatures);
}
</SCRIPT>

'thewin' is the title that will show up at the top of the popup window.
Aaahhhh HHaaaaa, I see now.
Create a movie clip that has three layers - actions, labels, and images
(Create keyframes in each layer, for every image you want to show.)
on the first set off keyframes, put your logo in the image layer and give it a frame label like OFF or something.
Place your images across the timeline, one image per keyframe on the images layer.
In each action keyframe, put a stop(); command.
In each label keyframe, give the frame a name, like image_01 or something.
ok, now drop that movieclip on your stage and give it an instance name, let's say imagesClip_mc
On each button, use this code:
on(rollOver){
imagesClip_mc.gotoAndStop('image_01');
}
on(rollOut){
imagesClip_mc.gotoAndStop('OFF');
}
Which image you want imagesClip_mc to show will depend on your rollOver code, using 'image_02', 'image_03', etc.
The rollOut code will stay the same, because you always want to hop back to the logo when you rollOut.
Make sense??
