Rollover Mouse effects

[Thomas McGrath III]

Eric,

The three mouse state is very difficult to achieve using the icon/ 
armed icon method. I have had success using a second button over top  
of the first button (armed with two icons) and not using the armed  
state on the second button so that it also can accept mouseDowns then  
finally grouping the two buttons. The three states are then handled  
by the either the group script or top button script for all three  
states/icons. It is a hack for sure but it works.
