Layer

There are four possible states associated with a button : up, over, down, hit. This element specifies a single symbol that is defined when the Button is in any of the specified states. The 'hit' state defines the active area for the button within which mouse events are processed. In this case the bounds of the symbol are used to define the boundary of the button and symbols associated exclusively with this state are never displayed. The 'up' state specifies that the symbol is to be displayed when the button is in the 'up' state. The 'over' state specifies that the symbol is to be displayed when the mouse is over the defined 'hit' area of the button. The 'down' state specifies that the symbol is to be displayed when the mouse is pressed within the defined 'hit' area. A single layer can specify a symbol defined in multiple states and multiple layers can specify symbols used in the same state. Multiple symbols defined for the 'up', 'over', or 'down' states will be displayed according to their specified symbol depths.
For each layer an additional Transform element can be used to place the symbol and an RGBAColorTransform element can be used to apply a color transform to the symbol.

symbol	Symbol to use for the specified state.
depth	Display depth to place the symbol. If only one symbol is used for a particular button layer then a display depth of 1 is sufficient. However if multiple symbols are used then each must be assigned an unique depth with symbols on a higher depth obscuring those on a lower depth.
