[Opensource] transition names can't contain "."

[larry hamel]

button names come in from the IE browser like

        button_promptLogin.y
        button_promptLogin.x

so the code you mention is to strip off the tailing part.  it is essential in the current "magic button params" parsing.  

I changed the test to be tighter, i.e., test for trailing ".y" & ".x" instead of truncating any "."

                /**
                 * button names come in from the browser like

                 button_promptLogin.y
                 button_promptLogin.x

                 cut off those .x, .y trailers
                 */
                if (buttonName.endsWith(".x") ) {
                    buttonName = buttonName.substring(0, buttonName.length() - 2);
                }
                if (buttonName.endsWith(".y")) {
                    buttonName = buttonName.substring(0, buttonName.length() - 2);
                }
