Oh, no, Scott, I didn't feel that way at all! My apologies for having inadvertently suggested that.
I know well that mine is often perhaps 'the idiot's approach' (or rather the least possible elegant approach), but if a person is *very* new to such things, I would guess that it's conceptually more approachable to place a transparent button over the picture of a button that than to do things like setting inks to noop and some long handler keeping track of various coordinates (you can gather that the latter has been a particular bane of mine in dealing with the sidescroller/irregular object collision detection--I had to have a long phone conversation with Andrew in which he explained the functions qua stew pot analogy and how to call the bloody stew pot to see if it was 'done' yet). You are most correct in noting the beauty of a language that accomodates everyone from earnest idiot to seasoned professional. :-) Judy On Mon, 22 Nov 2004, Scott Rossi wrote: > another.
