buttonStyle
Syntax
the buttonStyle
Description
Movie property; determines the visual response of buttons when the user rolls the pointer off
them. This property applies only to buttons created with the Button tool in the Tool palette.
The
buttonStyle property can have these values:
• 0 (list style: default)—Subsequent buttons are highlighted when the pointer passes over them.
Releasing the mouse button activates the script associated with that button.
• 1 (dialog style)—Only the first button clicked is highlighted. Subsequent buttons are not
highlighted. Releasing the mouse button while the pointer is over a button other than the
original button clicked does not activate the script associated with that button.
This property can be tested and set in any type of script.
Examples
The following statement sets the buttonStyle property to 1:
the buttonStyle = 1
This statement remembers the current setting of the buttonStyle property by putting the
current
buttonStyle value in the variable buttonStyleValue:
buttonStyleValue = the buttonStyle
