how can I create a colour changing click button that will work in PDF reader? say original colour blue, click it, changes to green....

I am currently working on an interactive ebook......I want to add a click button to

the bottom of each page that will change colour from blue to green if it is clicked on..

I am using publisher to create the book and then saving it as PDF.

For future questions about scripts in PDF files you should really use this forum: JavaScript

Regarding your question: Do you want it to change only once, or back and forth with each click?

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;

The script I provided can be applied using Adobe Acrobat.

Thank you for your help, I hope you dont mind but I have one more question.

Can I use javascript to select certain words and then have them appear on another page?
