There's nothing wrong with checking the mouseLoc. The "wrong" aspect of your script was the way you went about it. BAD: "repeat until the mouse is up" (constant polling of the mouse state) GOOD: checking a variable whose value is changed once the mouse is released EXAMPLE: on mouseDown set the uAllowCheck of me to true myLoop end mouseDown on myLoop if not the uAllowCheck of me then exit myLoop put "the mouse is down" send "myLoop" to me in 50 milliseconds end myLoop on mouseUp set the uAllowCheck of me to false put "the mouse is up" end mouseUp on mouseRelease mouseUp end mouseRelease Regards, Scott Rossi Creative Director Tactile Media, Multimedia & Design Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Web: www.tactilemedia.com _______________________________________________ use-revolution mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
