Yes that is what I meant. I figured it out by grouping another grayed 
out button over the group and vis/not vis. It works.

I might be missing something here (I hope) but I need to have the 
graphic image 1(button up) with icon 1(cute picture) over it (that is 
two button states at the same time). Then when pushed the graphic image 
1(button up) is switched to graphic image 2 (button down) and still has 
the icon 1(cute picture) over it but down to the right - following the 
behavior of a normal button that has that large of a gradated shadow. 
Again these button MUST match the ones used in the hardware device so I 
have no control over the behavior I need.

So, I feel I need two buttons - one has two states (button up and 
button down) and the other has cute icon 1 that moves when the whole 
group is pressed. Boy if I didn't need the two buttons that would be 
great.
AHH but here is the clincher - I ALSO need the button 
semi-quazi-disabled (disabled but take messages to reset the system)

So NOW I have thee buttons in one group and they do what I need. But it 
is bulky...........

Also, I scripted it so that no buttons or groups have any scripts in 
them and all buttons are controlled via a card script.

I uploaded a new stack to show what it looks like:

Thanks ken for sticking with me on this -

I am about to ask you to show me with my own buttons how to accomplish 
what these buttons do.

But not yet :-}
