OK, here's a simple script that does what (I think) you want.
NB - I decided to let Malte do the hard work and used AnimationEngine to
check whether the mouse was within each hexagon; since Malte very
generously put AE into the public domain, I see no reason to struggle
through the maths again :-)
The following script goes into the card script; you MUST also put a copy
of the mouseStillDown handler into each hexagon's script. (Note there is
no actual dependence on them being hexagons).
-- card script for hexagons
on mouseDown
setCurrentHex
end mouseDown
on mouseUp
setCurrentHex
end mouseUp
on mouseRelease
setCurrentHex
end mouseRelease
on mouseStillDown pButtonNumber
setcurrentHex
end mouseStillDown
command setcurrentHex
local temp, tCtl, txy, x, y
put the mouseLoc into txy
set the itemdel to comma
put item 1 of tXY into x
put item 2 of txy into y
repeat with i = 1 to 2
put the points of grc ("P") into temp
if pointInPoly(x,y,temp) then
put i && the millisecs after msg
exit repeat
end if
end repeat
end setcurrentHex
btw - you can eliminate the mouseDown, mouseUp and mouseRelease
handlers, if you can accept the very short delay until mouseStillDown
kicks in.
Alex.

Re: MouseDown on Enter
Correction: you need to include more ways to turn off the dragging control: local sColor local sDragging on mouseDown put the cColor of the mouseControl into sColor set the backcolor of the mouseControl to sColor put true into sDragging end mouseDown on mouseUp put the cColor of the mouseControl into sColor put false into sDragging end mouseUp on mouseMove x,y if sDragging then get x,y -- force to variable set the backcolor of controlAtLoc(it) to sColor end if end mouseMove on mouseRelease put false into sDragging end mouseRelease on mouseLeave put false into sDragging end mouseLeave On 1/1/19 3:41 PM, J.

Re: MouseDown on Enter
First I would consider whether you want *exactly* that UI, or whether
something very similar would do.
If similar is OK, then I would invert the logic of the UI:
- if the mouse (pointer) is over a hexagon, and the mouse is not being
pressed - play that note, and keep playing it
- if mouse moves into another hex, change note
- when the mouse is pressed - and for as long as it stays pressed -
play nothing.
That is very easy to do (at least, without testing it :,) :
each hexagon has handlers that do :
on mouseenter
-- do whatever it is you do to play a note (??)
end mouseenter
on mouseup
-- do whatever it is you do to play a note (??)
end mouseup
on mouseleave
-- stop playing the current note
end mouseleave
(actually, probably easier to do single handlers, which check "the
target" to determine which hex is being entered/left). Note that whne
you move form one to another, it's
and the card/group has a handler
on mousedown
-- stop playing the current note
end mousedown
and that, I think, should be all you need..
However - I'm not sure that's a very intuitive UI ("release to play"),
so I'd probably go the extra mile and do the harder one that replicates
the original UI. And that *is* harder, so I will try it out before I say
any more about it ...

You will end up with a microtonal keyboard that has this functionality:
1. When one performs a mouseDown on each hexagon a tone is played.
2. While the mouse button is held down the tone continues to sound.
3. If the mouse is dragged (while being pressed) from one hexagon to
the next,
the sound changes from that of the initial hexagon to the new one.
So . . . there would seem to be something "there" that is a bit

I have 2 adjacent hexagons, called "h1" and "h2" containing these
scripts, respectively:
...
Dragging one's mouse while it is "down" from "h1" to H2" does not turn
"h2" yellow!
*THIS* is the functionality I am looking for.
Right - won\t work because H2 never gets a mouseEnter or mouseDown
because the mouse was already down when it moved into H2.
I will have a play later tonight and see what I can come up with
Alex.

Re: MouseDown on Enter
Not sure that's going to work ... if the mouse button is being held down, you won't get a "mouseenter" event. Dict says: If the mouse button is down when the mouse pointer enters the control, the *mouseEnter* message is not sent unless the mouse button is released while the pointer is still in the control. So you will probably need to use mousedown and mousestilldown to track that case. Alex.
