Re: Blast message to multiple objects..

Rather than have "all controls matching a mask ..." get the message, I think it would be better to introduce a publish-subscribe model. One example (not one you can use directly :-) is in the IDE, see the publish/subscribe section of

Blast message to multiple objects..

I don't suppose its possible to dispatch or send a message to a group of objects all at once is there? (for example lets call a bunch of buttons named *cough* sprite##) Its not that difficult to write a loop to dispatch to each, but it would be very interesting if one could release a message
