Hide upon rollover and show upon rollout - how?

Hello. I'm attempting to create a button that will hide upon rollover and reappear upon exit. I am able to get a button to hide upon rollover, but not show upon exit. The button stays in the hidden state.

I also need a way to copy and paste this button so that each new copy will operate independently of the original without having to open the button properties and changing information.

Any help greatly appreciated.

Thank You!

Hi Therber,

Once you set the properties of the button to "hidden," which is what happens when you do the rollover that hides it, the button is no longer able to receive mouse events because it is not available via the user interface. An alternative approach would be to set the appearance properties of the button to no border or color and then write a script to alter the appearance properties when the mouse exits the field.

Hope this helps,

Another approach is to set the button behavior to Push and specify the Up, Down, and Rollover button icons to set the appearances you want. You'll probably also want to set the border color and background color to nothing (transparent). Any copied fields will behave independently like you want.
