>What's the best (simplest and most elegant) way of doing a graphical
>button roll over in Metacard?
>
>Button may be a combination of button and image objects, as long as
>they appear to the user as a single object/button.
>
>Button states required:
>1 Nothing/MouseUp - show default/up state image
>2 Mousewithin - show rollover state image
>3 MouseDown - show down state image
>
>Notes:
>- If the user clicks down on the "button" (state 2) and drags their
>mouse outside of the object the state must switch to up (1), if while
>still holding the mouse down they drag the mouse back into the object
>the state must switch back to down (3). The only way I can see to do
>this is to continually check whether the mouse is within the rect of
>the object.
>
>The best way I have found to achieve this sort of roll-over is to
>create a MC button object and then create the various state images
>(on top of each other) in layers below it. The button captures the
>mouse events and shows/hides the images.
>
>Related question: does MC have a syntax to put an image into another
>image (along lines of OMO's "put cd image 1 into cd image id 5")
set the fileName of image 2 to the fileName of image 1
