Why do you not want to use a screen?

If you describe what it is you want to achieve it will be easier to help you. I expect that using an imagebutton without using a screen is what you see as the solution to a problem. If so, what is the problem you want to solve?

I suspect the best way to solve the problem might be to use a screen.

You can through the use of UI functions which are in the docs. But as what the above suggestions said, you should use screens for things like screen elements, try not to compromise if you can. So its better I guess to have your problem solved through screens rather than going onto this fallback option.

Imagebutton always use screens, or it will not show the other screens that you've been using.
Actually, hotspots are different than imagebuttons, so imagebuttons aren't that hard until you really know about them or how to use it.

Code: Select all

    show expression ImageButton('images/eileen.png', clicked=Notify('ding'), xpos=200)

The ImageButton class is a tad different to just screen language imagebutton though... find it in renpy/display/behavior.py

I figured out my problem. I was trying to create an imagebutton, but when it would be called onscreen the whole game would freeze until that button was clicked.

I needed to use show instead of call. So, the problem wasn't the screen, it was the way it was being displayed.
