When my buttons move outside the rect of their group,
they disappear! Pixel by pixel. On the other hand,
setting the locations brings the group rect along to the new location.
The groups are needed because there is a new card for each"event"
(tX ,tY , tIcon etc.) allowing graphics at any point.

Stephen,
So you're saying that with Rev, when the Mouse is Down, other
messages can still be sent/received "unless" a repeat loop of the
nature I suggested is invoked, so that it IS polling in the sense
that it interrupts the normal flow? I guess things have gotten more
complicated than I

Sarah,
By and large, I would not put this in the category of "polling";
since nothing can be done while the mouse is down anyway. That's just
the way it is. Now, if this repeat loop was being used in a mouseup
handler, then it would be "polling" because all sorts of things can
take place
Jerry figured it out a while ago -- Galaxy always shows the object
name and path of the object it is hovering above. I think mousemove
may be part of it.
from the docs: "Sent periodically while the mouse button is being held down."
this gets close to what you want I think.
ON mouseMove
Sarah,
Try this script in the card:
--
global trackMouse
on mouseDown
put true into trackMouse
end mouseDown
on mouseMove
if trackMouse = true then
put "mouseMove" && the target & return after fld 1
pass mouseMove
end if

Sarah,
I don't fully understand what you're trying to do, but something
like the following should get you continuous x,y that you should be
able to use in some manner or another to determine which button is
affected:
on mousedown
repeat while the mouse is down
get the mouseloc
how about:
Use the within function to determine whether a point is inside the specified
object.

I have a grid of about 400 buttons and I have a mouseDown handler in

That REVCON drive didn't work very well when I got it. I had to
reformat right away. Also PC formatted drives on Macs seem to be a
bad idea in general if you don't have to.
