ABSTRACT:
A method and system for displaying a set of buttons on a display screen that gradually change from an active state to an inactive state. When a user selects a button displayed in its active state, such as by clicking a mouse, the system displays a sequence of transition frames at predetermined intervals, preferably 0.1 seconds. Display of the transition frames begins when a mouse down event is detected when the cursor is positioned on the button. If a mouse up event is detected when the cursor is off the button, the transition frames are displayed in reverse order until the button is displayed in its active state. When the last transition frame in the sequence is displayed, indicating that the button is in the inactive state, the function associated with the button is executed. Each transition frame may have unique audio accompaniment associated therewith. The audio associated with each transition frame may be played when the respective transition frame is drawn on the display screen.
