Not dumb, just a bit of flawed logic. MouseDown is an event. "On mouseDown"
means, "one click". So, what you are doing is looping five times on a single
mouseDown... what you need is a flag, or counter, in your behavior that will
stop the action at five mouse clicks.
In other words, add a property to your behavior that will store mouse clicks
for you. Add this to your code:
property pClicks
on mResetClickCount me
pClicks = 0
end
on mouseDown me
if pClicks < 6 then
pClicks = pClicks + 1
--All of your other code
end if
end
This will deactivate the behavior after five clicks. You can then reactivate
it by sending the mResetClickCount() call.
