Hello all,
I am trying to set up a button as a preview screen in the corner of a window, so that when the cursor passes over an area of a map in the window, a picture of the item that is represented in that area of the map appears on the "preview screen" button. I have made an invisible button that covers the area of the map that I am trying to show, and have scripted it as follows:
on mouseenter set the icon of button "PreviewButton" to image id 1392 set showIcon of button "PreviewButton" to true end mouseenter
Try:
on mouseenter set the icon of button "PreviewButton" to 1392
### You only need the "naked" id number ;-)
set showIcon of button "PreviewButton" to true end mouseenter
When I try to do this, it not only does not work, but the entire Rev environment crashes immediately.
Can anyone replicate this? And more importantly, can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong?
If the above still produces grief, then something else might be going on...
Ideally, I would like this button in the corner of the window to show a different image for whatever
area of the map the cursor enters (the program is for keeping track of a garden and its current plants).
Maybe i don't understand you right, but could you do this with "invisible" buttons?
I don't mean that literally ;-)
The trick is to use standard buttons, script them the way you want with "mouseneter", "mouseleave" etc..
and then set the INK of these buttons to "noop"!!! This will make them invisible to the user but the engine
(and thus the mouse) will act as if they were visible...
Cooooool and handy feature :-)
Thank you.
Hope that helps.
Sincerely,
John R. Brauer
