OK, OK; let's be direct and to the point:

I want to "rip off" the functionality of this web-page:

http://terpstrakeyboard.com/about/

Click on the "Play It Now!" menu item and follow through . . .

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 difficult to implement in LiveCode.

I have 2 adjacent hexagons, called "h1" and "h2" containing these scripts, respectively:

onmouseDown

    setthebackgroundColorofmetored

endmouseDown

onmouseStillDown

    setthebackgroundColorofmetogreen

endmouseStillDown

onmouseLeave

    setthebackgroundColorofmetowhite

endmouseLeave

---------

onmouseDown

    setthebackgroundColorofmetoblue

endmouseDown

onmouseStillDown

    setthebackgroundColorofmetoyellow

endmouseStillDown

onmouseLeave

    setthebackgroundColorofmetowhite

endmouseLeave

--------

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.

This does *NOT* work:

on mouseEnter
   if mouseDown then
      set the backgroundColor of me to red
   else
      set the backgroundColor of me to green
   end if
end mouseEnter

on mouseLeave
   set the backgroundColor of me to white
end mouseLeave

which is a "right pox"

This may rank as one of the goofiest questions I've ever asked: Oh,
well, here goes:

Imagine a mosaic of faux buttons if you will.

Each of these buttons will play a tone if I drag my mouse into it:

on mouseEnter

  play audioClip "x.aiff"

end mouseEnter

All well and good . . .

BUT, Richmond wants more . . .

I want to get different results from a simple mouseEnter

and a mouseEnter while the left-click button is down.
