I have made my down state and up state 'base' button as the icons of those states in a transparent button and it looks great.
I want to link a small icon on top of that button and when the user clicks with the mouse to send mousedown and up to that button 'through' the icon.
Rev is not doing this. I tried pass mousedown, send "mousedown" to button "Button 2" and click at button "Button 2" and none of them seem to work. The last caused REV to freeze up and not receive mouse clicks at all.


Should I group them??? should I 'do' something to the icon image???

Thanks
Tom

So, my greatest available choice here looks like linking images together in a group and making that 'act' like a button.

OK. I will look into that.

thanks

I need to combine two images in one button

I have a special button look and feel and want to include that. Then I
want to put a special icon into that special button look and feel. Then
I want it to act like a default button or like a regular button.

The usual way to do this is to create the entire button as an image in a
graphics program. Include the actual button shape itself, as well as its
"icon," as a single image. Make two of these, one for the "up" state and
another for the "down" state. Then create a transparent button and set
its icon to the "up" state image, and its hilitedicon to the "down"
state image.

To add to the above:


If you want a scalable image button, you would need to combine the separate
sections of the button image into a group and use the group as a button. If
you want a button that only scales horizontally, you need a minimum of 3
items: left, center and right (scale the center element). If you want a
button that scales in both directions, it gets more complex as you need a
3x3 grid of elements and you scale only the center cell. It's work, but it
can be done.
