  Can’t change the backgroundColor of a ScriptUI Panel Button Element…

  Hey guys,

  I am just working on my first After Effects Script. I also want to provide a user friendly UI and I want to customize it to get a unique look.

  Now I am trying to change the background Color of my Button. This is what I got so far:

  
var applyGrp = pixual.palette.add('group', undefined);
applyGrp.alignment = [ScriptUI.Alignment.FILL,ScriptUI.Alignment.FILL];

  var applyBtn = applyGrp.add('button', undefined, 'Apply', {name: 'apply'});
  applyBtn.alignment = [ScriptUI.Alignment.FILL,ScriptUI.Alignment.FILL];

  applyGrp.addEventListener('mouseover', changeBtnColor, false);

  function changeBtnColor(){
  var applyGFX = applyGrp.graphics;
  var applyGFX_bgColor = applyGFX.newPen(applyGFX.BrushType.SOLID_COLOR, [0,1,0], 1);

  applyGFX.backgroundColor = applyGFX_bgColor;
}


  I don’t get an error when compiling but it doesn’t work. What am I doing wrong?
