If the mouse isn't to the right of the screen Kerry's routine would be quite a bit faster. On average his routine should come out a tiny bit faster than mine. A little different test shows this more clearly. I left Colin's test as is, except I reordered my nested if series to: on mt2 if

1000 tests that take a total of 28 milliseconds means that one of those tests is taking 28 microseconds, or 1/36th of a millisecond. Ah, I'm with you now--I wasn't seeing your perspective (I had my z-axis negative behind me ;-) Cordially, Kerry Thompson Learning Network [To remove yourself

Just curious could it be done with html styles?? Good question--I would know how to do it in a browser, with the map tag. In Lingo, I'd use a list of coordinates. Does anybody know if Director supports HTML maps? It would be great for defining different polygons. Cordially, Kerry Thompson
