Image filled shape as a button

[michelem22350618]

I am using image filled shapes as buttons.  If I temporarily hover my mouse over the button before clicking on it , the button turns brown.  Once I click, the image re-appears and the proper effect is applied. But this temporary disapearence is still disconcerting.  What setting should I be looking for to try to rectify this problem.

Can you check the Object State panel? What is the Rollover state?

The object state panel says normal.

Can you show that panel, please?

You don't how the Object State panel in this screenshot. You are on Mac.... but I think it can also be opened using the State view button in the Properties panel. Want to see just that panel, not the restt of the screen. Images are very small in this forum.

OK.  I think this is what you are looking for.  I see the brown image in the state panel, but I don't understand how it got there.  I never defined any states for this object.  Can I reslove this problem by selecting the rollover state and using image fill?

Rollover and Down states are different from the Normal state, that is why you see something changing when hovering over the image button. Moreover a shape button will also shrink when pressed. Please add the image also to the two other states.
