Perhaps I am confused... But if you are going to hide the top object, then put the mouse over the polygon - then all you would need to do is use the mousecontrol function. If the mouseControl is the polygon in question - then you've got it.
However, this does not tell you if any point of the top object is over the polygon. This would only tell you if the point at which you place the mouse is over the polygon. If pLoc is in the middle of the top object, but only the edge of the top object is over the polygon, then this test would miss the overlap. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Steve Bonham Sent: Friday, June 24, 2005 10:55 AM To: How to use Revolution Subject: Re: is within ... polygon shape? Eric, Wow! Now THAT is an ingenious approach!!! :-) and it might be just the solution needed. I'll give it a shot.
