I am finally getting some time with DMX 2004, and one thing I noticed was that the old fashioned hypercard pushbutton from the toolpalette has been replaced by a flash component.
(You can still get the old hypercard button from the Insert menu). Onto the nub of my gist: If you put a lingo script on a flash component push button, say on mouseUp alert "mouseUp" end ...and then click down on the button, but release outside it, you still get the mouseUp event. That's surely not correct. I should get 'mouseUpOutside', and absolutely not 'mouseUp' under those circumstances. What's up with that? Worse; I don't get a 'mouseUpOutside' message either. That could be very problematic. I am inclined to lock all GUI elements while tracking the mouse. The way this is working, you can mouse down on one button, and mouseUp on another. The one you mouseUp on responds when your mouse enters it, but it's the one you clicked first that gets the mouseUp message. Ugh! Presumably a Flash component doesn't have to behave this way, it's just sloppy design, but can this be fixed by us, or do we have to wait for macromedia to do it? BTW 'Hypercard' style buttons behave 'properly' (except that they too 'rollover' when you've clicked something else.
