Eric, Richmond,

Merci. Custom properties are indeed one of the handiest features of Rev. (The grabbedObject ought to be a revProp, I think, but oh well.)

Unfortunately it appears that mouseEnter messages do not fire while an object is being dragged? Using the scenario you propose (essentially what I wanted to do) I get no textColor change until I drop the object, leave the field, and then mouse back in. Does "grab" stop certain messages from being passed? (Message watcher would indicate that it does.)

On the other hand, Richmonds solution works (mouseMove fires) but this is being sent constantly while the letter is being grabbed/dragged around, whereas it would seem simpler to set the color upon entrance to a new field and be done with it.

Thanks,
Mark

Bonjour Mark,

Actually, I think you wrote the answer to your question already :-)

on mouseDown -- in the button's script
 set the GrabbedObject of this cd to the long ID of me
 grab me
end mouseDown
--------------------------------------------
on mouseEnter -- in a field's script
 set the backColor of (the GrabbedObject of this cd) to <color>
 set the opaque of (the GrabbedObject of this cd) to true
end mouseEnter
--------------------------------------------
on mouseLeave
 set the opaque of (the GrabbedObject of this cd) to false
end mouseLeave

Custom properties are really useful ;-)

I've got a transparent button. I'm grabbing it. When the button goes over a white field I want its color to change to black, when it moves over a green field I want it to change to yellow.

Is there a way to refer to such an object from within a script so that

on mouseEnter
set the textColor of the grabbedObject to "yellow"
end mouseEnter

Currently I have it change color on mouseUp based on whether the loc of "me" (the grabbedButton) is within the rect of field "white" or field "yellow" but it's not what I want.



Best regards from Paris,
Eric Chatonet.
