hello all,

This is my button class. and call it using:

1.  
2.   stick.display();                             // draw the button and text for stick
3.   stick.overButton();                          // check if mouse is over for stick
4.   stick.pressedButton();                       // check if mouse is clicked on stick
5.   if (stick.pressedButton()) {                  //
       theplayer.stick();
       stage = 5;  // stage5_dealerTurn
     }

The problem is, sometimes you click it more than once. because at the stage = 5 you get the same button again.
I tried to reduce the frame rate but it does not solve my problem. If i reduce the frame rate to 10 than i can not press the button. i have to try it 2-3 times.

I know the problem is mousePressed

What can i do to solve this problem without chaanging alot of codes?
By the way, i can not change the location of button on the next stage. This is not the right solution.

Thanks alot
