I've encountered the strangest thing, and I have no idea when it crept in. I have a frontscript that catches mouseUp. But now, while in stack mode (the raw project before being turned into a standalone), Metacard catches the mouseUp before my frontscript as far as I can tell. In checking the frontscripts, Metacard places one in front of mine, and the Metacard Menu Bar catches it as best I can tell. It never gets to my mouseUp.

I left the mouseUp handlers blank and allowed the frontscript to handle them. It would determine the target and act accordingly.

on mouseUp

end mouseUp

Now this used to work fine. This is not a new project, and that particular set of code has worked without catch for quite a while. No troubles before. I don't know when the troubles began as I haven't worked much on this project in the last few months. I did upgrade from Metacard to Revolution, and am using the Metacard IDE. I don't know if this is when it broke.

I've had to go thru and try to find every single place of mouseUp and create handlers in each object, where before I didn't have to bother. Basically I just created:

on mouseUp
   someHandler
end mouseUp

This solved the problem.  But it is still perplexing.

I downloaded the latest IDE today in hopes of not having to change all the handlers, but nope. Am I losing my marbles or has anyone else ever seen this? I haven't updated to the newest engine, but am assuming it's more of an IDE thing.
