Jiggling the autoHilite handle

[FlexibleLearning at aol.com]

>>  I have some rectangle buttons in my project which don't behave too  
>> nicely in OSX. They seem to like to retain the "down state". The  hilite 
>> value is set sometimes programmatically, other times via  mouse 
>> interaction. In either case, they can hold not the hilite  state, but 
>> whatever the autohilite state is called (the darkest  button state, 
>> mouseDown, whatever).

> This can happen  if you have auto-hilite set to true for a button while a 
> script tries  to manipulate the hilite as well. It's usually best to 
> choose one way  or the other; either let the autohiliting be in charge, 
> or write  scripts to manage things instead. In this case, I think I'd put 
> in  mousedown and mouseup scripts that set the hilite and turn off the 
>  auto-hilite property entirely.


You may wish to also include mouseLeave and  mouseRelease handlers.
