Animation
The animation feature for buttons pertains to the mouseover state of the button. To create an animation you have to have the orginal 5 states and the animation frames added to those on the end. This means that state 6-?? will be the animation frames. Remember to add the extra frames to the frame count under the 'Image' tab. You can adjust the animation accordingly under the 'Animation' tab.
Warnings
Be careful not to make your button images too dark as some programs will NOT follow your text settings and use black as the text on the button.
