Rev Users -
I have to say I'm a little jealous ... a posting headed "OT: Help with motivation" gives rise to a thread of over 20 messages,
That's because we can write that stuff off the top of our heads without having to look up anything, or even do any focused thinking. ;)
and I can't even get a little nibble with an actual scripting question here [see below].
Check out the "dragEnter" system message. If you are doing a drag operation (as opposed to a "grab",) you should get a dragEnter message every time the cursor enters another object. If your dragEnter handler is in the card or stack script, it can check "the target" to see which object the cursor is in.

While I have the precious time and attention of those (many) who are more expert in Rev than I: I'm still struggling with what looks like the inelegance of my solution to a kind of pseudo dragging-and-dropping of these groups.
Here's the situation: say the user is dragging a green group. Other grouped controls on the card have green "slots" (actually fields with different text color) that need to signal that they will "accept the drop" of the green group, which they do by hiliting their border (actually turning off their threeD property temporarily). Since I have an object attached to my cursor (the green group I'm dragging), no handlers in the other controls on the card will get triggered (right?), so I seem to have no choice but to iterate over the controls, and do a test inside the original green-group handler (or — gasp — inside an "idle" handler) like
if the mouseLoc is within the rect of control i
then set the threeD of control i to false
I foresee this "solution" scaling badly as the number of controls on the card increases. But I don't at the moment see a better one. Is there?
Thanks again to listmembers for sharing your expertise with me, Jerry
