disabled buttons

[Thomas McGrath III]

Ken yeah that's what I did last time in SC. So I will do it again.

But for this project a disabled button does not do what a non-disabled 
button would do BUT if a user hits a disabled button it 'resets' the 
system of which buttons are available. I should use the term available 
and non-available (since disabled in rev means dead) whereas my 
non-available buttons still have life in them ie. they reset the 
system.

You see it is the nature of sequenced buttons that on a third hit of a 
sequence you decided to back out of the sequence you can just hit a 
non-available button to reset the system to be ready for a first hit 
again.

Since I am combining two buttons in a group to get the look and feel I 
need I am thinking of adding a third invisible image to the group that 
when the icon is unavailable the image will trap the message.

Did you look at my buttons example?
put this in the message box:

go URL "http://users.adelphia.net/~3mcgrath/Buttons.rev"

This shows the button without a disabled state/ unavailable state. Each 
will be  built via script and would show different icons.

Thanks
Tom
