Hi yoy,

Rob,

 That's EXACTLY the behavior ("Scroll To") I want!
 But... how do I read the scripts?

One smart solution ;-) is to use the messagebox:


Type:

edit script of the mousecontrol

DON'T hit RETURN yet!!!

Instead positon the cursor on top of that menubutton
and THEN hit RETURN...


I am puzzled by the way in which the "mousecontorl" function is implemented. For example, the following handler in the message box

repeat until the mouseclick
put the mouseLoc &comma && the mousecontrol
end repeat

returns the mouseLoc continuously as I move the cursor over the screen, but the mousecontrol depends on where the mouse was located at the time the return key is hit. And the mousecontrol value remains fixed at that initial control as the mouse moves. I would have expected the mousecontrol value to be continuously updated as the mouseloc is.

And the documentation is puzzling:

"if the mouseControl is button 2 then set the cursor to hand"

It appears that mouseControl returns something like: control 2 or control 5, but never button 2 or button 5. I guess Clinton was right; it depends on what the meaning of "is" is. It seems that RR is flexable on this matter. For example,

"control 3 is button 2"

would return "true" if button 2 is in layer 3.

Jim
