You can do this--I'm not sure I understand what you're trying to
accomplish, though. Do you want to map areas of a larger picture?
A side note--processing is faster if you do your if statement like this:
if the mouseH < 475 then
if the mouseH > 385 then
if the mouseV < 393 then
if the mouseV > 370
The way you have it written, Director will assess all the tests connected
by the AND. My example is a little harder to read at first, but when one
test fails, it skips the rest. The multiple if procedure is faster 75% of
the time.
Another approach would be to have a transparent (NOT invisible) vector
graphic overlay and have it check for mouseWithin.
Cordially,
