How about this, off the top of my head, not tested:

on mouseEnter -- in the card script
get the name of target
if it contains "group" and the number of target = number of groups then
-- do stuff here
end if
end mouseEnter

Thanks, Devin.

I've tried all kinds of variations of this, particularly with the powerful "on mousemove". The problem is that the engine apparently won't respond with any message (mouseEnter, MouseWithin, MouseMove) unless the mouse is over an *object* within the group. If it's just within the group's rectangle, but not over an object, no message gets sent.

I can use the test <if the mouseloc is within the rect of group "whatever"> and get the correct response, but I have to already know that the group is called "whatever".

Since I'm creating and destroying a variety of groups randomly, I need to know which group the mouse is over via some kind of test (the very thing I'm stumped on). Unfortunately, I can't seem to find a way to do this if the mouse is simply within the group rect but not over an object. There are some fairly extreme approaches to solving this problem, but I'm hoping for a simple solution.
