As other people on this list i had problems with "idle" or "mouseStilldown" or
in Metacard.
We were explained that we have to use instead "send ..."
But i can not imagine how to use "send" in some straight cases.
I often need that something happens repeatedly as long as the user press a
button.
Suppose a locked field used as a counter
on mousedown b
repeat while the mouse is "down"
if b = 1 then
add 1 to me
else
subtract 1 from me
end if
end repeat
end mousedown
or
on mousestilldown
if mouse(1) = "down" then
add 1 to me
else
subtract 1 from me
end if
end mousestilldown
