Hi, I think I understand the misunderstanding here :-)
Gregory, are you looking for a button property that actually alters the
appearance of the image used as the icon of the button when the button is
hilited? If so, this property does not exist.
Dave is referring to setting the hiliteIcon to a second image which you
would have to make yourself in an image editor.
So you would set the icon of the button to "image1" (your existing image).
You would then duplicate and *modify* the image in a paint editor (or MC of
course) to give it the hilited appearance you want. You would then set the
hiliteIcon of the button to this image, "image2".
Alternatively, if you would like to "dynamically" hilite the images using
the native features of MC, you could use inks instead. e.g. you could draw a
filled white rectangle graphic over the image, apply the "reverse" ink to it
and then show the rectangle graphic on mouseDown, hide it on mouseUp or
something to that effect.
Hope this helps,
Alan
