simple soft-button issue.

i'm sorry if little stupid, i'm totally new (i got board yesterday )
i'm trying code "soft button". press once circuit turns on (a led in case) press time , turns off... works, partially. of times when hit button led light until release button. if press many times in row produce desired effect , turn on or off led.

code: [select]

int flashled    = 11;
int statusled   = 13;
int actionbtn   = 12;
int btnvalue    = 0;
int softvalue   = 0;

void setup(void) {
 // initialize inputs/outputs
 pinmode(flashled, output);
 pinmode(statusled, output);
 pinmode(actionbtn, input);
 digitalwrite(statusled, high); // want know when avr done booting
}

void loop(void) {
 btnvalue = digitalread(actionbtn);

 if (btnvalue == low) {
   if (softvalue == 0) {
     softvalue = 1;
   } else {
     softvalue = 0;
   }
 }

 if (softvalue == 1) {
   digitalwrite(flashled, high);
 } else {
   digitalwrite(flashled, low);
 }
}


well, adding bit of delay @ bottom of (btnvalue == low) statement seems help. works nicely "static" led. if use flashing led though, turn on, problem same when trying turn off.
