The script below allows students to click on various words ("objective lens", "ocular lens" etc.) in a "Help field" and an arrow is drawn from the linked word or phrase to the object in question.

But I want the arrow to go away (set the points of graphic "arrow" to empty) when the the mouse leaves the field.

But my handler "mouseLeave" beeps every time I click on a link, the arrow flashes but immediately disappears.

Why should clicking on a link send a mouseLeave message?

When the arrow graphic appears under the mouse, the field gets a "mouseleave" and the graphic gets a "mouseEnter" message. In other words, the focus shifts. (This is a new feature of the engine; it didn't used to work that way.)


You could work around it by not using the mouseloc as the start of the arrow. Add a few pixels to the horizontal position, for example. (Although if the user moves the mouse over the graphic, the graphic will disappear again.)
