Button actions using JavaScript

Question

Hi,I'm creating an interactive Bingo board so my student can complete activities at home. The parent will click the button to mark done. I found the following code to change the color of a button. If only once then set the fill color as blue and then apply the following JavaScript code as the MouseUp event of the button:event.target.fillColor = color.green; If you want it to change back and forth, use this code:event.target.fillColor = (color.equal(color.blue, event.target.fillColor)) ? color.green : color.blue; Is there a way to add to the change back and forth code to add words. I want add the word 'Done'? Blue would be blank. Once the button is clicked, it would change to green and the word done would appear. I actually would prefer yellow but I will just change the word. Also, is there a way to add the same property to all buttons at once or do I need to add the script to each bingo board?I really would like a transparent circle to cover the square but that is a little too advanced for me right now! Thank you for your help!!!

The best way to develop something like this is to put the button code into a folder level function and then call the function from each button. For example

function ToggleColor()
{
    event.target.fillColor = (color.equal(color.blue, event.target.fillColor)) ? color.green : color.blue;
}

If there are a lot of buttons, then you can use a console script to set them all up. If the fields are named correctly you can do it with a single line of code.
