This tutorial is to show you how to create condition based button states by combining multiple images / scene objects with conditions. Personally I don't believe this is the best approach to sorting out your menu buttons as it requires multiple scene objects per button.

Tutorial

1. Begin by creating a new menu scene.

2. Next you want to start creating some new scene objects (2 per button. One for active state & one for inactive state). Don't forget to rename the scene objects to something appropriate

Quick tip: Create a temp background image of what the menu / scene should look like when all the elements have been added to it. Set this as your scene background to help you reposition all of the scenes images / animations easier. Replace this background with the actual final version of the background when you have finished.

3. Select one of the scene objects you just created, browse to the image tab & link the relevant image to the scene object. Next click on the reposition image tool (shown in the image below) & reposition the image associated with the selected scene object to where you want it to be displayed in the menu scene.

Quick tip: After left clicking on an image or animation you can use the arrow keys on your keyboard for precision nudging, which is a lot easier to correctly position images / animations, than with the mouse alone.
