You could also try comtrolAtLoc() which would avoid the loop.

on mousemove
put 1 & cr & 2 into objectList -- just using control number for the
quick example
if the mouse is down then
repeat for each line tLine in objectList
if within(control tLine,the mouseloc) then
put tLine into tResult
exit repeat
end if
end repeat
end if
if tResult is not empty then
put tResult
else
put "no result"
end if

mousemove works. It does appear that "mousecontrol" doesn't fire when the
mouse is down so that is out.
You can also use "within" which is pretty fast.
Have a variable with a list of the objects you wish to check against (or
array, or whatever)

I miss the Zynga "Pathwords" game on Facebook, so for my own amusement
I'm trying to recreate it in Livecode.
For those who don't know the game, it had a solid screenful of
Scrabble-like lettered tiles. Click and drag the mouse through adjacent
letters to make words.
Without clicking, simply moving the mouse through the tiles (fields)
triggers mouseenter, mouseleave, etc. which makes it easy to pick up the
letters.
But when the mouse is down, it seems mouseloc() is the only thing I can
get. Using a variable what has all the field rectangles, I can use the
mouseloc() to ultimately identify the field under the pointer, but it's too
slow...
Does a moving mouse with the button down trigger any other messages
besides mouseloc()?
