Build on this simple behavior and you're ready to rock'n'roll:
on mouseEnter (me)
-- boost this sprite's locZ
sprite(me.spriteNum).locZ = 100000
-- message all sprites to reset their locZ
sendAllSprites(#resetLocZ,me.spriteNum)
end mouseEnter
on resetLocZ (me, thisSpriteNum)
-- if this sprite was not the message sender, then respond...
if (me.spriteNum <> thisSpriteNum) then
-- ...by resetting the sprite's locZ value
sprite(me.spriteNum).locZ = me.spriteNum
end if
end resetLocZ
Cheers,
Tom
