Action on mouse click.

[Lazerpower]

Hi all,

Here is my problem. I want to put the cursor over a button, let's use OK as an example. When I click and hold the mouse I want my highlighted image, or pushed OK button, to appear and stay on. Then when I release the mouse key the OK button returns to the up position and then my file loads/runs.

I can make the OK look pressed and depressed using a hightlighted image, but it happens when the cursor is over the image.

Any ideas?
Thanks for any help,
Lazerpower

Hi,

This really isn't possible using AutoPlay Menu Studio 3.0, this is because AutoPlay does not support the "Mouse-Up" event.

It is something that has been brought up before, and would be a good future inclusion.

Re: Action on mouse click.

I've found a way to do close to what you want to do, if you don't mind making a little compromise. The image won't go back to normal until the mouse leaves it. I'll use two images (called Image1 and Image2) for examples. Here's what you do:

Upon Page Open
Hide Object -> Image2

Image1
Mouse Click Event
Show Object -> Image2
Hide Object -> Image1
Execute Program -> (your program here)

Image2
Mouse Leave Event
Show Object -> Image1
Hide Object -> Image2

Again, the image won't go back to the first one until the mouse leaves the object, but since the program will be running by then, I don't think they'll notice. Just make sure that both images are aligned exactly on the page, so it looks like there's only one image there.
