I have a momentary button with an if else script. I've binded a tag to the Enabled property on the button. It seems, however, that even when the button is disabled the script still runs. Is this because the script is disregarding the Enabled property of the button and does it's own thing? On other buttons I am just using the Set Property function and the Enabled property works fine.

You'll want to move your script to the `actionPerformed` event handler
