Hello and Delurk.
I have a goofy problem. I'm trying to do a simple rollover which changes the color of some text. Eventually this will become a buttonish thingy, and, hopefully, work for a whole pile of different bits of text and change them all in nice, neat, tidy ways. However, at the moment, I'm not getting the simple version to work.
When the mouse rolls off the text, it goes grey or black instead of going back to the colour it began with (brownish).
What I have at the moment is: (numbers are basically random for now)
1. you need to add property definitions for the preset properties so their valuse are maintained within all the handlers - otherwise, they'll revert to zero.
just add this at the top of the script
property pNormBut, lChanBut
2. you need to add the 'me' parameter on each handler line
as in: on beginSprite me
--------- On beginSprite set pNormBut = the forecolor of Sprite (the currentSpriteNum) -- set pBackCol = end
Also, while I'm here, what are the differences between mouseEnter and mouseWithin?
fires when the mouse moves within the border of the sprite - when it was creted, there was no mouseLeave
mouseEnter fires when the mouse moves inside the border of the sprite. It has an associate event mouseLeave which fires when the mouse moves out.
mouseWithin is essentially the same as mosueEnter, but it's older & was introduced without a 'leave event'.
