Yes -- you're only checking the intersect once in your script. You need to
repeatedly check for any intersections. Try the following (tested and works
on my end):
on mouseUp
move grc "ball" to the points of grc "theLine" in 30 ticks without waiting
checkIntersect
end mouseUp
on checkIntersect
if intersect(grc "ball", grc "gAspectPos") then
beep
stop moving grc ball
exit to metacard
end if
send checkIntersect to me in 50 milliseconds
end checkIntersect

FWIW, I've been experimenting with a simple but also fairly capable sprite
handling system, which allows sprite objects to follow predefined behaviors,
all based on repeating "send in" messages. To date I've tested nine
asynchronously moving bitmap sprites along with the mouse-controlled sprite,
and the results are phenomenal (MacOS). On-screen movement is smooth and
virtually jitter-free. Scott Raney & company have really done some great
stuff with the move command.
In any event, I'll either post the "game" as open source or try to make a
somewhat customizable version for folks who want to experiment.

Scott
