Dear List,
Okay, let's see if I can explain this.
I have a group that contains an image as a background and several custom buttons placed on the top of it. The background image has a "stick out tab sort of thing" on it's left side. The idea is to place the group on the right side of the window so that only the tab is showing. When the user moves the mouse over that tab, I want the group to slide out revealing the buttons. When the user moves the mouse out of the group, I want it to slide back so that only the tab is visible again. Okay, so far so good.
So I place mouseEnter (to slide the button panel out) and mouseLeave (to slide it back in) handlers in the group's script. Worked great until I placed my buttons in the group. This is what happens now. I move the cursor over the tab. The group slides out fine. But as I move up and down over my buttons, mouseEnter and mouseLeave messages get sent, including those to the background image, which triggers my moving action. So if I mouseEnter one of my buttons, I mouseLeave my background image, which slides the group back. That's not the behavior I want. As long as I'm within the group, I want it to be slid out, even as I'm moving up and down over the buttons.
Does that make sense? Should I be handling different messages besides mouseEnter and mouseLeave? A mouseWithin perhaps? I'm kind of stuck. Can someone help?
Thanks, Chris Sheffield Read Naturally
P.S. Here's my group's script:
on mouseEnter
if "ButtonBar" is in the name of the target then
move me to 580,241
end if
end mouseEnteron mouseLeave
if "ButtonBar" is in the name of the target then
move me to 668,241
end if
end mouseLeave
