No sooner said than done. Keep in mind this method depends on four things:
1. Your main group consists of a number of child groups composed of three
controls: a button, an icon image and a disabledIcon image
2. Your button names begin with "btn" and your images begin with "img" eg.
"btnNew"
3. Your "icon" images are named like your buttons, excluding the first three
characters eg. "imgNew"
4. Your "disabledIcon" images are named like your buttons, excluding the first
three characters, and ending in "Disabled" eg. "imgNewDisabled"
on newBackground
put the childcontrolNames of me into tGroupList
repeat for each line tGroup in tGroupList
put the childControlNames of group tGroup into tControlList
filter tControlList with "btn*"
repeat for each line tButtonName in tControlList
put char 4 to -1 of tButtonName into tControlName
put "img" & tControlName into tEnabledImage
put "img" & tControlName into tDisabledImage
set the icon of button tButtonName to the short id of image
tEnabledImage
set the disabledIcon of button tButtonName to the short id of image
tDisabledImage
end repeat
end repeat
pass newBackground
end newBackground
