Problem We have created a flashing background color in Part 1.
However, if you have run that sample code, you will notice that the button stops flashing when your mouse is over the button.
We will fix this is this Part 2 so that the button will continue to flash even when the mouse is over it as shown below.
Solution
- The button stops flashing because we did not set the PRELIGHT state of the button in Part 1.
- To fix this, we just need to add one more modify_bg for the
PRELIGHT state.
