Mr. Pythagoras can help you here
Assuming that the "object" is at pLocH, pLocV, then to find the
distance the mouse is away from that object, you can do this:
property pLocH
property pLocV
property spriteNum
-- somewhere, set up pLocH and pLocV,
-- if you are talking about the sprite in this channel, you can do this
on beginsprite me
pLocH = sprite(spriteNum).locH
pLocV = sprite(spriteNum).locV
end
on exitFrame me
distanceH = abs(the mouseH - pLocH))
distanceV = abs(the mouseV - pLocV))
distance = sqrt((power(distanceH, 2)) + power(distanceV, 2)))
if distance <= 5.0 then
-- inside
else
-- outside
end if
end
