NAME

       SWF::Button - SWF button class

SYNOPSIS

               use SWF::Button;
               $button = new SWF::Button();
               $button->setUp($shape1);
               $button->setDown($shape2);

DESCRIPTION

       Creates buttons for flash movies. Buttons are controlled by various methods for visible design and
       triggered actions, see below:

METHODS

       new SWF::Button()
           Creates a new Button object.

       $button->addShape($shape, FLAG)
           Adds $shape to the button. Using this method is not recommended, better use addCharacter(), see next
           item for details.  Also unlike addCharacter() this method does not return any SWF::ButtonRecord
           objects

       $buttonrecord = $button->addCharacter($character [, $flags])
           Adds character $shape to the button. Valid FLAGs are:

                   SWFBUTTON_HIT
                   SWFBUTTON_UP
                   SWFBUTTON_DOWN
                   SWFBUTTON_OVER

           Unlike addShape() this method returns an object of SWF::ButtonRecord class.  The flag states can be
           combined using the binary or operator.

       $buttonrecord = $button->setOver($shape)
           Shortcut for $button->addCharacter($shape, SWFBUTTON_OVER);

       $buttonrecord = $button->setHit($shape)
           Shortcut for $button->addCharacter($shape, SWFBUTTON_HIT);

       $buttonrecord = $button->setUp($shape)
           Shortcut for $button->addCharacter($shape, SWFBUTTON_UP);

       $buttonrecord = $button->setDown($shape)
           Shortcut for $button->addCharacter($shape, SWFBUTTON_DOWN);

       $button->addAction($action [,FLAG])
       $button->setAction($action [,FLAG])
           Adds $action object (see SWF::Action). Valid FLAGs are:

                   SWFBUTTON_MOUSEUP
                   SWFBUTTON_MOUSEOVER
                   SWFBUTTON_MOUSEOUT
                   SWFBUTTON_MOUSEDOWN
                   SWFBUTTON_DRAGOVER
                   SWFBUTTON_DRAGOUT

           SWFBUTTON_MOUSEUP is the default value of FLAG.

       $button->setMenu(0|1)
           Parameter is 0 (off) or 1(on).  Can be used for a slight different behavior of buttons.

       $soundinstance = $button->addSound($sound, $flags)
           Plays a prepared SWF::Sound object and returns an object of SWF::SoundInstance.  Once more valid
           flags are:

                   SWFBUTTON_MOUSEUP
                   SWFBUTTON_MOUSEOVER
                   SWFBUTTON_MOUSEOUT
                   SWFBUTTON_MOUSEDOWN

           For example:

                   $sound = new SWF::Sound("wow.mp3", SWF_SOUND_MP3_COMPRESSED );
                   $soundinstance = $button->addSound($sound, SWFBUTTON_MOUSEDOWN );

       $button->setScalingGrid($x, $y, $w, $h)
           This function (available from SWF>=8) sets a 9 slice scaling grid: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 X, y, w and h
           define a rectangle, which is the dimension of the center slice (5). All other slices are determined
           out of the characters bounds and the defined rect. While slice 5 is scaled vertical and horizontal,
           slice 2 and 8 are only scaled horizontal. Slice 4 and 6 only vertical. The 4 corner slices are not
           scaled (1, 3, 7, 9).

       $button->removeScalingGrid()
           Removes scaling grid rectangles.
