Detecting the mouse, yes, always. But within an irregular polygon shape,
the mouse would be detected using the entire rect of the graphic,
regardless
of any concave or convex regions. I (and Eric Chatonet I assume)
spent many
years working around this limitation by using images with transparent
regions. But this is now irrelevant as graphics detect the mouse
using only
the area they occupy as expected.

Maybe I cannot grasp exactly what you and Eric were trying to achieve .
Things seem to be different here.
The educational sample stack I referred to
(<http://www.sanke.org/Software/ImageAndWords.zip>) was originally
created in April 2003. Within its irregular polygon shapes, the mouse
would be detected only in the proper graphic area and *not* in the
entire rect of the graphic.
Have a look at the stack and run it with a Metacard of Revolution
version prior to 2.5. Look for instance at the exercise "Move and Click".
