Using Format Behaviors (and select swap image from the drop down)
- but as Ron points out that is a painful process
And in your case it will never work since you are using Frames and the frameset page w/ the buttons in it is probably never changing
(just changing a target page unless you are also using a script to swap both frameset pages)

| Opps - Another Question... How do I do the following:
|
| Now you need to add an image swap behaviour that restores the original
| unpressed state to every other button when it is clicked. This has to be
| done for every button in the navigation bar.
|
| Any Ideas?
