Button animation issues

Monday, February 28, 2005 by NightwingDragon | Discussion: WindowBlinds

I just recently began playing with button animations (ie:) taskbar, and so forth. As it stands the animations themselves seem to work fine. I have green glass taskbar capsules that have a gradient fade from green to blue so they appear to "pulse" when hovered. The issue I'm having is that the pressed state almost never works, and it randomly switches color sequence. It works fine when I first start up, but it seems the more apps that are open, or the more I do, the more random it becomes. The image itself is a 13 image tiled .bmp wherein the first 6 are default placement, (ie:) normal, pressed, disabled, and so forth. The rest of them are at the end for the ani. The ani. functions are as follows: frames=13, framerate=100, 1st frame on mouse enter=6, first frame on mouse over=6, last frame on mouse over=12, last frame mouse leave=12, mouse exit mode=Finish ani. cycle than stop animating. It's not a major flaw, but just enough to annoy me as I want it to be how I created it. If there are any ways to restrict the cycles or constrain them any help would be greatly appreciated! Thank you for taking the time to read this.
