Wow, Sean! You always amaze me with these unorthodox strategies. Yes! This
one works. [Though I used me.spriteNum where you typed spriteNum].
It made the MIAW a little more sluggish than it was, though...
I'd really like to understand this (and when I do, I'll post for the list).
So the rollover() function is called and works as it's supposed to.
And the pWithin property is set by the mouseEnter handler, which means the
mouseEnter IS executed. If so, why does my test fail:
--sprite's behavior
on mouseEnter
PUT "mouseEnter"
end
Why is mouseEnter willing to assign a value to a property but is not
willing to put a message in the message window until it is forced to run
again by the exitFrame handler? What's the mechanism, now that your theory
has been confirmed? Maybe it can help me find a solution without running
exitFrame in more than a dozen sprites all at once?
Very gratefully,
Slava
