How to hide imagebuttons if click outside of button area?

[DarkCookie]

Ok so let's say I have a room with multiple objects in it such as a door (see code below).

If I click on a door and an imagebutton comes up with "Would you like to go outside?" on it, I want to be able to click off screen/around the button and hide/cancel the option.

Is there a simple way of doing this? I'm thinking I might have to create a transparent imagebutton the size of my screen behind the door button that would "hide" it...

Code: Select all

###ROOM###
    screen room:
        add "room.jpg"
        imagebutton:
            idle "door.png"
            hover "door2.png"
            action Show ("door_options")
            xpos 44
            ypos 352
###DOOR_OPTION###
    screen door_options:
        imagebutton:
            idle "button.png"
            hover "button2.png"
            action [Hide ("telescope_options"),Hide ("room"), Jump ("outside")]
            xpos 300
            ypos 600

You thought right - in screen door_options make a whole screen-size imagebutton that will hide this screen, and place the other button over it.

Tried it and it works surprisingly well.. I was expecting something buggy but it's smooth.

Thanks
