[Pro] Carousel question

Hi! I just could not figure out how to add “click” to Carousel button.
I explain - I have 2 graphic files one for next one for the previous buttons in Carousel slideshow. Now What I need is for them to change their state aka mouse click each time I press them , in reality quickly change to another graphic file and back.
Could not figure out the procedure.
Anyone??

Thanks!

If you can make your button images as transparent PNG images, then
it’s pretty easy to add an :active pseudo-selector through CSS.
Imagine this. You have a transparent PNG image, and part of it has
little or no opacity. Any background-color set to that image or its
parent container will shine through that opening. Depending on where
you put these “holes” your image can change quite dramatically when
clicked. Here’s what you need to add to your page, using the Page /
HTML Markup dialog, choosing the Before /HEAD section of the dialog:

<style type="text/css">
.previous:active, .next:active, .stop:active, .start:active {
	background-color:#ff9;
}
</style>

Now, during the time that the buttons created with the Carousel Button
Action are pressed, their background-color will be set to light
yellow. The moment they are released, they will return to default of
none. This color will be added to the A (anchor) tag that wraps around
the image, which means that it will be a rectangular shape.

If you wanted to have a glow around your round buttons, what you would
do is create your button images in Photoshop or Acorn or Pixelmator as
a rectangular image with the same solid background color as the rest
of your page, then use a mask to remove part or all of the background
behind the rim of your button area. By creating this transparent area,
you allow any color behind that button image to shine through.

When the button is in its normal state, that will be the background
color of the page. When the A tag that’s layered behind the image is
in its :active (pressed) state, the background color of the A will
shine through the transparent/translucent parts of your button image.

Be sure when you place this image on the page that you set it as a
Pass-Through image, otherwise the effect will be ruined by the lack of
transparency in JPEG.

Thanks again Walter!!!

WOW! What’s toooooooo much for my little brain right now.!
I stick with no mouse click for time being.

I love to see easy implementation inside Carousel Button if that is possibly in the future updates :)?

Thanks
Vadim.
