Description
Movie property; determines the visual response of buttons while the mouse button is held down.
Read/write.
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.
Example
The following statement sets the buttonStyle property to 1:
-- Lingo syntax
_movie.buttonStyle = 1
// JavaScript syntax
_movie.buttonStyle = 1;
