#1

I am a newbie and the situation is from the menu of the game that i’ve created is a music button when you tap it, it will actually disable itself with another logo and hold itself until i enable it again. here is my code 

local function onMusicBtnRelease()

local hold = display.newImage(“images/Buttons/Music1.png”)

return true

end

local musicBtn = widget.newButton{

defaultFile =“images/Buttons/Music.png”,

overFile =“images/Buttons/Music1.png”,   <------- logo that has a disable sign

width= 900, height=300,

onRelease = onMusicBtnRelease – event listener function

}

musicBtn.x = 690

musicBtn.y = 1750

end

need help :slight_smile:

The overFile isn’t a toggle. It’s simply a highlight while the button is being touched. You probably should not use widget.newButton() for this. You can either build your own button using techniques from:

or consider using widget.newSwitch() instead. In particular if you’re wanting to enable/disable music, an on/off switch is a more appropriate and it can be skinned with different graphics to represent on and off.
