magic settings for rollovers?

[Lynch, Jonathan]

How about if you have a transparent image (with the ink set to allow it
to receive mousemove and mouseenter messages) at the lowest layer inside
the group: Then set up your scripts like this:


Whenever a button or graphic in the group receives a mouseenter/mouse
move message, then it does these things:

1) Checks to see if a custom prop for the group, call it the
CurrentArmedButton property, contains a number that is different from
the ID of the current target

2) If it does contain such a number, which is the ID of a different
button, then it sets the armed of that button to false

3) Sets the armed property of the current button to true

4) sets CurrentArmedButton of the group to the ID of the currently armed
button.



The mouseenter/mousemove handler for the transparent image at the lowest
layer of the group would do these two things:

1) Check to see if there is a number in the CurrentArmedButton property
of the group

2) If there is a number in it, then:
    a) set the armed property of that button to false
    b) set the CurrentArmedButton property of the group to empty

Richard,

If you want a fail-safe, perhaps you can have an idle task that just  
goes around and fixes any bad button images if the mouse is not  
within them.
