This has been touched on elswhere on this site.

In short create multiple layouts click on a button navigates you to another layout. The layouts are identical except the elements you wish to be different. Gives you the appearance that an element has been depressed.

Or you can put your graphics into a global container field. You have another field as a global number, you press a button, via script set the global number field. to a value, then you have a calculation field, based upon the value in the global number will get the graphic from the global container. or one of it's repetitions.

Thanks Stephen, I like the layout solution - it is easy and I like ease.

Can one search the forum for previous answers?
