Help progressing thru multiple buttons w/ actions

All,

I need a little help with where to begin with a particular project. Here's the structure:

LED1 on - waiting for BTN1 press

when BTN1 press, ACTION1 happens (sequence of LEDs for example)

after ACTION1, LED2 on - waiting for BTN2 press

when BTN2 press, ACTION 2 happens, and so on...

Does anyone have any ideas on a very efficient way to carry out such a process?

Thanks very much!

Uses LED and Button library.

//LED1 on - waiting for BTN1 press
led1.on();

while (!button1.isPressed()){/*wait for button1 to be pressed*/}
//when BTN1 press, ACTION1 happens (sequence of LEDs for example)
//ACTION!
led1.off();

//after ACTION1, LED2 on - waiting for BTN2 press
led2.on();

while (!button2.isPressed()){/*wait for button2 to be pressed*/}
//when BTN2 press, ACTION2 happens (sequence of LEDs for example)
//ACTION2!

Thank you - these two libraries have saved me some sanity. I think I can get through the rest of the statements required for the interactivity myself, but may drop a few more questions here at a later point.

One more question - do you have some handy code as to how, when one is using the button library, the buttons can be debounced?

Thanks again!

Disregard previous - Incorporating the Debounce.h library now and will give that a shot.

Thanks.
