A little known trick in Flash: Make a movieclip. Give it 3 frames and put frame labels on each named
_up, _over, and _down Put a stop(); action on frame 1. If you assign a button method to the movieclip, like onRelease, onRollOver, etc. it will behave just like a button on its own, going to the _up _over and _down frames automagically without any coding required. You can make additional frames and put frame labels on them to your heart's desire. As long as those three frames are there and there's a button method assigned to the movieclip, it will behave like a button. You can use .enabled = false to make it stop, just like a button. So, to make a selected button (that isn't a toggle button), make a fourth frame "sel" (or something like that) and onRelease set its enabled to false and tell it to go to frame "sel". To unstick it, just set its enabled to true and it will start working again.
