I know there are Normal, Hover, Down, Visited, and Disabled states, but I have a list of 9 buttons with text (layers) for each one, and I want to highlight (show) that a certain button is selected (in case I move the mouse and am no longer "hovering" over it). I don't want users to mistake the layer text for something that belongs with a different button.
Remember you can put anything you want on the layers, including an unclickable bright-colored version of the button they clicked. So when the layer appears, so does this unclickable button, over the top of the actual button. It can look any way you want and you can make sure this flat version has no "states" when they hover their mouse over it. Meanwhile, all the other buttons remain visible on the base layer with their hover states intact.
There is a "selected" state option. If there isn't, you can make your own state and call it selected. Then just add a trigger saying the the state is changed when user clicks on that said button.
There is a selected state! Often it shows a glow around an object while it's selected and only one can be selected at a time. The built-in states will behave according to the definitions here.

Hi Cara,

Hope that helps!
I would use the selected state. If you only want one button selected at a time, select all the buttons and right click and choose a button set.
