Re: rectangle of 0,0,0,0 ok?

[Thomas J McGrath III]

After you hide the field (or show the field)

THEN pass the mouse message in the field , or just when it is hidden.

on mouseWithin
        if the vis of field "me"  then
        -- do stuff while I'm visible
        else
        pass mouseWithin
        end if
end mouseWithin
you might also want to pass the other mouse messages in the same way, 
These are needed only if you need the messages passed if you use them 
in the graphics, etc under the field.

mouseEnter
mouseLeave
mouseMove
mouseRelease
mouseUp
mouseDoubleUp
mouseDown
mouseStillDown
mouseDoubleDown

Try:

       hide field "myField"

You can then show it again with:

       show field "myField"

This is equivalent to setting the visible property of the field to 
true /
false; check out the 'hide' command in the Transcript language 
Dictionary.

Best wishes,

Derek
