The graphic is interactive since I'm using it as a button (with a mouseUp handler). I guss drwaing a graphic was just a convenient way of creating an arrow without searching around for an icon to use as a button icon.
Right now, I'm changing the blendlevel of the graphic to 50 when I disable it, then back to 0 when it's enabled again. That gives the right visual effect and preserves the color.
