[Xerte] Can a button respond to both onRelease and onRollOver?

[Patrick Lockley]

Bit past what I know but try an onRollOver and an onClick event for the
"button"

Subject: [Xerte] Can a button respond to both onRelease and onRollOver?

I have a page with space for a text icon to be displayed and a number of
buttons.

The idea is that if you mouse over the button the text object specific
to that button will be displayed and if you click on the button then you
will be taken to a new page - the one that relates to that button.

I am using a swf borrowed from one of your examples for the button
(aquaBtn.swf)

If I include the button in an interaction on the page, and add a script
to the button then the button animates its pressed image when clicked
and the script fires.

If I add an event to the interaction, to detect the onRollOver event for
the button, I have to add an RS value to the button and set the event to
use the button's rs value. The button will now fire an onRollOver event,
triggering the script attached to the event. However the button now
ceases to act as a button. The animation no longer shows when it is
clicked and the script attached to the button no longer fires.

If I now add an ID to the button, the button operates as a button once
more, animating when clicked and firing the attached script, but the
onRollOver event is no longer detected, even if the ID and RS values for
the button are the same.

If I leave the button as a button (remove the RS value) and try placing
a hotspot over it, the hotspot triggers the onRollOver event, but
effectively masks the button, so again no animation and no reaction to
being clicked.

Is it possible to have a button that behaves like a button but also to
have the onRollOver event trapped so that it fires a script?

Kind regards
