3D Radial button

[Khyber]

I am designing a database for my role-playing game and I want my radial buttons to appear as a 3D raised button rather than the flat button that is created. I've seen it on other FM databases and was wondering how to do it. Please help?

I assume that you are refering to the "RADIO" buttons. Those are the circular buttons, that allow only one option to be selected.

When I do them I usually use a couple of container fields or a single repeating container field. I then have another global container field which stores the various graphics that I use.

One would be a selected icon, another an unselected icon. Then use a script(s) to set the containers with the correct icons.

It seems complicated, but once you set it up it is pretty easy.
