I've had a similar problem with 'Adult returners', who, in the act of clicking, moved the mouse outside the boundary of the button. Depending on the layout of the screen constraining the mouse might not solve the problem as the 'mousedown' may be in one button area and the 'mouseup' (after moving)

The other possibility is that you'll get a mouseRelease when the mouse comes up outside the hit area of the button. You could check the location of the mouse at that time, and if it's within a few pixels of the original target, you could run your hit code anyway.. Just my $0.03*, Ken Ray Sons of

The Player object is a little finicky because it is Quicktime that is managing it (for the most part), not Rev. I have found that if you use send to allow the current handler to finish, you get better results. You've done this yourself with a button and a mouseUp handler, but you could do the same

Imagine you have a button, and in it's script you have several handlers: mouseUp, processData, doMoreStuff etc. If you put a local variable in the button's script but OUTSIDE any of the handlers - say on the first line - then all of these handlers can access the data stored in that variable.

Re: Global /local variables

2002-11-10 Thread Ken Ray
Andre, For global commands, you have two choices: Inside handlers or outside. If you declare a global inside of a handler, each handler that wants to access that global needs to declare that same variable to get access to it. For example: on DoStuff1 global gVar put 10 into gVar end DoStuff
