Update button icon

[Thomas McGrath III]

I'm using a custom prop to store if the button it self is a big yellow 
one or a non-yellow one.
Then via scripting the next time the button is hit it asks for the 
custom prop cYellow and if true sets the state to a yellow button.
However, I want to (without setting the icon itself ) have it update 
using the custom prop without having to click the button.

It is confusing because I am manually setting the button states for 
three buttons in a group on top of each other.
button layer 1 is the yellow or not base button
button layer 2 is the icon of the button
button layer 3 is the available of the button ( a gray button that says 
it is not available BUT can be used to reset the others)

So I want to set the cYellow of a button and tell the button to go 
ahead and check the cYellow and update but not actually click the 
button to do it.

I guess I could check the button's cYellow and change the icon my self 
but I was hoping once set there could be an update or something.
