Actually, I'm not sure working with mouseDown is what'll help with what I'm
after.
Say there's a grid of grouped objects thus:
A. B. C.
D. E. F.
G. H. I.
J. K. L.
and underneath that grid is a graphic
"gcBkgnd"
which is opaque and a few pixels larger than the grid.
The effect I've scripted so far -- and which took much experimenting with
co-ordinating mouseDown, mouseMove, mouseRelease and mouseUp -- allows the user
to select the grouped objects by mouse-drag and then have those selected
objects deleted upon mouse-release.
Problem is the selected objects should be contiguous. Thus, selecting objects
J-G-D-A is ok, but not J-D-A.
My first idea for a solution was to poll mouseMove in the grouped object's
script with something like this:
on mouseMove
if the mouseLoc is not within rect of graphic gcBkgnd then
send "doReset" to this card in 50 millisecs
exit to top
I thought "exit to top" would bypass mouseDown, but it doesn't.
So I then tried the script of the background graphic similarly:
on mouseLeave
send "doReset" to this card in 50 millisecs
exit to top
But, again, couldn't get away from how mouseDown doesn't allow other
mouse-related events until it's done.
Assuming that all makes sense, what should I be doing instead? (And no
suggestions about fingers or other parts of my anatomy :-) . )
Thanks
