Hi, John.


Layered, looping for duration of mouseover.


The idea is an illusion of a single button whose sound gets more complex as

the mouse nears the center.  For instance, at the perimeter the user might

hear a single note (consisting of either one very long note or, more

realistically, a short tone that is looped 999 times).  Halfway in, a

second note is added.  At the center, a third note is added, so the user

hears some kind of a musical chord.  Upon exit, the notes disappear one at

a time in reverse order.


Thanks for your help.  Len, I appreciate your suggestion too; it's a good

alternative and I may have been making this more complicated than necessary.
