That's exactly why I'm using cantSelect = true, want to drag-select a bunch of objects on top of it.
Thanks for the nifty tip.

I have a full-card image (jpg) on the bottom layer that I have the cantSelect = true.
If I change it to be false, then I can draw.


I would definitely say this is a Rev bug.

Yes, it appears that if the cantselect of an object is set to true, Rev won't honor an object creation tool's mouseclick. But it does still process mouseclicks. In fact, here's a quick and dirty way to get around this problem. In the jpeg image handler put this script:


on mouseup
  if the optionkey is down then
    set the cantselect of me to false
  else
    set the cantselect of me to true
  end if
end mouseup

Cantselect is useful if you have lots of other objects on top of your jpeg that you want to select by dragging a marque. So when you're creating a new object, first option-click the jpeg and the object creation tools will work. Then when you're done, click it again so that you can select multiple objects by dragging the mouse.
