Layer the radio buttons under a transparent (invisible) graphic.

Thanks to several people who put me on the right track to get radio buttons
to work via scripting.
I've now got another problem. I admit I'm slightly abusing the radio button
idea: normally the user clicks on one button and that turns off any hilited
one in the set. In my case, I **only** want this effect via scripting,
since the user is just seeing the buttons as indicator lights - in other
words I want there to be no effect if the user clicks on a button.
This turns out to be more difficult than I thought. I have turned off
everything I can think of (apart from visibility!) in the individual
buttons in the group, put dummy 'mouseUp' and (even) 'mouseDown' messages
in the buttons and in the group itself to 'soak up' the mouse clicks, but I
still get a residual effect, which is that when the user clicks on a
non-hilited button, then the hilited button turns off. This is the same as
if I'd set the hilitedButton of the group to zero via script. Further
clicks have no effect.
I just want to zap this last effect but I don't know how to do it. If I can't find a solution, I will have to stand down the whole radio button idea and do it all by scripting - perfectly possible, but a pain.
TIA for any advice.
Graham
