Alex,
Thanks for responding. I spent all day trying things out but now I need
a break. I am going out to eat and tonight or tomorrow I will revisit
your code. It looks interesting.
So far, I have a hover solution. I also have a mouse down and up while
the mouse is down that sends messages to the

Eric,
I just posted another response before I saw this one. In the other the
mouse up is faked a little bit.

Eric,
Thanks, Yeah I didn't specify the PDA simulation aspect before. No
apology is needed of course. I appreciate the advice always.
So here is what I have so far (adapted to my needs of course). AND it
works. Sort of. The problem is still two fold:
1. If I release the mouse over another accept
Hi Tom,
I did not know you were working on a PDA interface: So, I apologize :-)
The problem is very different indeed.
I take the opportunity to say that Pat's solution seems a better
approach since mousemove is an IDE "pending" message.
If you want the button hilited when the mouse is down and the

Eric,
I tried your script for a while and it will need a bit more work to
work for me. Thank you though.
As far as the 'good ergonomics' , what I am trying to do in Rev works
in our Director project and also works in our pda prototype. You see,
on a PDA you don't have a mouseHover type of opera

You can get mouseStillDown if it's in the target btn and also you can
always get the mouseloc. A bit of fiddling with these two should get you
what you want.

Hi Tom,
Menus are handled by the engine and unfortunately are not transcript
statements :-( or :-)
Something like that (non tested) in the card script:
on mouseDown
if "button" is in the target then
CheckOtherButtons -- ∆
end if
end mouseDown

Thanks Eric,
So my trapping the mouseDown message will break what I want to do while
the mouse is down?!!
BUT when you mouseDown on a menu and then with it still down you nav
down to a sub menu it seems to still highlight text items. And the same
works in paint tools where you mouseDown a tool
Hi Tom,
Once the mouse is down, the engine stops sending any message until the
mouse is up.
Then some retroactive messages are sent (as mouseleave).
You can check this in the message watcher (where mouseStillDown is not
shown).
So, the only way I see to do that would be using a pending message wi
