Within my program, users click on thumbnail icons to open audios. This
creates puppet sprites and takes the play-head to a different frame where
an audio begins playing automatically and a transcript, play, rewind,
pause, ffwd and "Close Audio" buttons are available. On clicking the "Close
Audio" button, the puppet sprites are set to false and the play-head
returns to the frame it had been at when the thumbnail was originally
clicked (gReturnFrame). The problem is that one of the thumbnail icons is
positioned in roughly the same place as the "Close Audio" button (neither
can be moved), and if the user happens to double-click the "Close Audio"
button, the second click automatically registers on the thumbnail icon and
that audio starts playing.
I thought I could use "the lastClick" to check if less than (say) half a
second has passed since the last click, but this does not seem to work. I
checked what was happening by attaching the code "put the lastClick" to the
thumbnails icon, but it doesn't seem to work. Even if I wait more than 10
seconds between clicks, the message window invariably gives me a spurious
value for "the lastClick" which never seems to exceed about 12, although
according to Director Help, this should "return the time in ticks (1 tick =
1/60 of a second) since the mouse button was last pressed" indicating that
if I wait ten seconds between clicks the value should be at least 600. I
therefore cannot use this to test the elapsed time between clicks.
Is there an easy way to prevent the second click from registering on the
thumbnail icon?
