Track as menu
Button tracking refers to how a button behaves as it tracks the movement of the mouse. A Button Object can track the mouse in one of two modes:
The default setting to track as a push button (i.e. Track as menu turned off).
If the button is tracking as a push button (i.e. Track as Menu is turned off) and, while playing a Scene or Sprite, you click the button, all mouse movement Events are directed to the push button until the mouse button is released. This is called 'capturing' the mouse. For example, if you click a push button and drag outside the button (without releasing) the button changes to the Over state, and the pointer remains a hand cursor.
If the button is tracking as a Menu, then the mouse is not captured when you click on the button. If you click on a Menu button and drag outside, the button changes to the Up state, and the pointer reverts to an arrow cursor.
