creating buttons

rob beattie's icon

hello community and afternoon,

ive been working on the idea of making my own picture orientated buttons, using fpic and a bit of jiggery on the bang, using messages for alpha, delay for flash, and basically making the fpic act like an on and off switch.

what im having difficulty with, is, what if i could make the fpic flash on and off via a [mouse over] function, but... im stumped as to what i should be looking into, or what avenue to go, any help?

current patch in attachment.

fpic has no mouseover function on it's own, or at least it is not known to me.
You need some extra object to check if mouse is hovering over fpic object to
trigger whatever you want to show when mouse is hovering over fpic object.
maybe hover object ?
