I'm now answering my own problem, but I want to know why this is the only
thing that worked...
global gThumbLoc
on mouseEnter me
gThumbLoc = sprite(30).locH
gThumbLoc = gThumbLoc - gThumbLoc
if gThumbLoc <> 0 then
sprite(me.spriteNum + 2).visible = TRUE
end if
end
on mouseLeave me
sprite(me.spriteNum + 2).visible = FALSE
end

Subject: RE: <lingo-l> Sprite loc check not working
What I am trying to do is make a hilite of the currentsprite visible if it
is rolled over and the location of sprite 30 is less than 0. I've tried
your suggestion and still get the stupid freakin hilite showing up no matter
what. Does the negative number thing have anything to do with it?

Then you don't need to test for 116. You just need to know if its locH
is > 0 because if it is (if it's 116), you skip out of the code. The
inverse of that is to run the code only if sprite 30's locH is negative,
so I adapted that a little.
Also currentSpriteNum is a tricky beast. In a behavior it assumes that
whatever sprite is running the behavior is the current sprite num --
even if it's not the one that the mouse cursor is in.
Without knowing what you really intend to do suggestions are difficult
to offer, but I'd try this:
on mouseEnter me
if sprite(30).locH < 0 then
sprite(me.spriteNum + 2).visible = TRUE
end if
end
on mouseLeave me
sprite(me.spriteNum + 2).visible = FALSE
end
