Great suggestions, just what I needed to bust my brain out of the box. honestly, the thought of putting buttons [i]over[/i] the graphic never occurred to me.
I think I'm going to create an animation, that sounds like the easiest plan.
Thank you both.

I use an animation with the (6) states. I overlay the 5 transparent buttons onto the animation. Unit an analog value from each button press to drive the animation to the state you want. Then I use a nor from the 5 buttons to drive the animation back to its resting state. Works great and alot easier than lining up buttons.

That's pretty much how I do it. Circle graphic with rectangle buttons
overlaying it. I do each direction and select in the middle. I put a little
green or red icon in the middle of each direction to light up as feedback.
Kind of simulating an led.

I'm trying to figure out the best way to use a circular d-pad in a
non-core3 system. Think something like what's on a Roku remote:
I can build the graphics no problem, it's a matter of layout in Vision
Tools.
This is being done for both aesthetics and to fit better on the page, so
the issue of button overlap is really what I'm trying to overcome,
especially since it's a curved graphic (button to the user) in a
rectangular button (non-existent from the user point of view).
Is there a good way to do this?
Use blank buttons or borders to mask areas where there is overlap? Seems
like a major kludge, but it should work. I'm hoping I'm just overlooking a
better way to do this.
Thanks for any input.
