imagebutton using ATL problems

[nananame]

Continuing to play with making an image button use an ATL defined image, I ran into a problem.

When the button gains focus, the animation will speedup/jump/do something.

I don't know why. Here's how it looks - you can see the little man waving (that is an imagebutton). When I hover over it, the button gains focus and the animation skips.

This is a simple test script Nothing fancy in it:

Code: Select all

image atlbutton:
    "images/1.png"
    0.3
    "images/2.png"
    0.3
    "images/3.png"
    0.3
    "images/2.png"
    0.3
    repeat

screen buttontest():
    imagebutton:
        idle "atlbutton"
        pos (100,100)
        action NullAction()

Question is - how can this be avoided?

Not tested if it'll solve the issue, but try to put animation inside a button.

Code: Select all

screen buttontest():
    button:
        pos (100,100)
        add "atlbutton"
        action NullAction()

@Alex I love you! Not sure how you came up with that (the reasoning behind it I mean) but it works!
Switching to button instead of imagebutton (and thus using add instead of idle) worked! I had to set the focus_mask to the displayable and it all works now!

Makes me wonder, why do we even use imagebuttons then?
