Trying to load a library image with toggle button

This is the AS3 for working the button that I created and it works fine.  However, I want something to happen and I put in the // in this code for what I need help with...

import flash.events.MouseEvent;

toggleButton.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, rolloverToggle);

toggleButton.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OUT, rolloutToggle);

toggleButton.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, toggleClick);

toggleButton.buttonState = "on";

function rolloverToggle(event:MouseEvent) {

    toggleButton.gotoAndStop(toggleButton.buttonState+ "over");

  

}

function rolloutToggle(event:MouseEvent) {

    toggleButton.gotoAndStop(toggleButton.buttonState);

}

function toggleClick(event:MouseEvent) {

    if (toggleButton.buttonState == "on"){

        toggleButton.buttonState = "off";

        //I want to load a png from library called MyImage1 to 0,0

    }else {

        toggleButton.buttonState = "on";

        //I want to remove png called MyImage1 from stage

    }

        toggleButton.gotoAndStop(toggleButton.buttonState+ "over");

}

If there is an easier way to handle this, that's great.  I just don't know if I need anything else to do this.  I tried addChild, but not as though I know what I'm doing.  In AS2 I didn't have this problem.

Hi.

This should do it:

import flash.events.MouseEvent;
import flash.display.BitmapData;
import flash.display.Bitmap;
var bitmap:Bitmap;
toggleButton.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, rolloverToggle);
toggleButton.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OUT, rolloutToggle);
toggleButton.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, toggleClick);
toggleButton.buttonState = "on";

function rolloverToggle(event:MouseEvent)
{
    toggleButton.gotoAndStop(toggleButton.buttonState + "over");
}
function rolloutToggle(event:MouseEvent)
{
    toggleButton.gotoAndStop(toggleButton.buttonState);
}
function toggleClick(event:MouseEvent)
{
    if (toggleButton.buttonState == "on")
    {
        toggleButton.buttonState = "off";
       
        bitmap = new Bitmap();
        bitmap.bitmapData = new MyImage1();
        addChild(bitmap);       
    }
    else
    {
        toggleButton.buttonState = "on";
       
        if (bitmap)
            removeChild(bitmap);
    }
   
    toggleButton.gotoAndStop(toggleButton.buttonState + "over");
}

I hope it helps.

Regards,

JC
