Images in buttons

Post by glpunzi » Fri Dec 10, 2010 9:50 am

Hi all,

It's possible to resize an image inside a button?

For example, I have an image of 256x256, and I want to put it in 64x64, or 32x32 without touiching the image with gimp for example.

It's possible to have the image at the left of the text button? ot must be up in the text?

Hola Guiseppe,

No. Since the images inside of buttons are referenced in fact, you need to modify the original and referenced image.

Sure, set the "textalign" of the button to left (or right or center) in the Inspector -> Text Formatting for the button.

Yes it is possible.

All you need to do is to set the width and height of the image, for example:

Code: Select all

on mouseUp
   set the rect of image 1 to 0,0,100,100
   set the icon of me to the id of image 1
end mouseUp

Of course Björnke is right!

I meant that one can not scale an image inside a buttton
by changing any property of the button, sorry for the confusion!
