Three mouse state buttons (was: Rollover Mouse effects)

[Eric Chatonet]

Hi Tom,

I prefer to use a single button the autoHilite of which is false.
I specify the hiliteIcon in the properties inspector and the two  
other icons (armed and normal) as custom properties.
Then I have no group and all code (very simple) is, as expected, in  
the button's script:

on mouseDown
   set the hilite of the target to true
end mouseDown
------------------------------
on mouseUp
   set the hilite of the target to false
end mouseUp
------------------------------
on mouseRelease
   set the hilite of the target to false
end mouseRelease
------------------------------
on mouseEnter
   set the icon of the target to the uArmedIcon of the target
end mouseEnter
------------------------------
on mouseLeave
   set the icon of the target to the uIcon of the target
end mouseLeave
