Building Buttons

The button symbol has the ability to change its image according to what state the button is in. There are four of these states, Up, Over, Down and Hit. You can see in the button in its normal state, you can then interact with it by rolling the mouse cursor 'over' the button. When you click the button it will send the it into the 'down' state for as long as the mouse button remains pressed. A Button can also carry out an action when a certain state is reached, because of this, there is a four framed timeline to define each state.
