I would say a better way is to set the icon of your button to the ID of the
appropriate image during the mouseMove message. This way you don't have to
position all the button images in the same location -- they can be offscreen
or even hidden.
Assuming you have images named "normalState", "overState" and "downState",
the following would be placed in the card script:
on mouseMove
if within(btn "myBtn",the mouseLoc) then
set the icon of btn "myBtn" to the id of image "overState"
if the mouse is down then
set the icon of btn "myBtn" to the id of image "downState"
# doSomeStuff
else set the icon of btn "myBtn" to the id of image "overState"
else set the icon of btn "myBtn" to the id of image "normalState"
end mouseMove
