Showing/Hiding Images on mouseLeave...

Hi Igor,

FWIW, I'm seeing the same behavior here (RR v1.5), but with 
additional complications:  If the top image has transparent pixels, 
moving the cursor from an opaque portion of the image to a 
transparent portion WITHIN THE SAME IMAGE will generate a mouseLeave, 
and moving from transparent to opaque portions generates a mouseEnter.

Which brings up a question for imaging wizards:  When I create a gif 
image, I can make part of it transparent.  When I import that image 
into a stack, I can set a property to make the image transparent or 
opaque.  How is the gif's internal transparency affected by the 
opaque property and vice versa?

Back to your main issue--I can tell you what I think is happening; 
but none of the workarounds I have tried fix it:  Image "idle" is not 
getting a mouseLeave message until the mouse leaves and reenters 
image "over". There is no mouseLeave message sent to image "over" (I 
guess RunRev thinks the mouse is still within image "idle") until you 
exit "over" and reenter it, at which point mouseLeave is sent to 
"idle" and mouseEnter is sent to "over".  I've tried specifically 
sending mouseLeave & mouseEnter to the images and clicking outside 
image "idle" before hiding it; but I still get no message the first 
time the mouse leaves "over".

Perhaps the MC engine needs to update its current control status when 
an image is hidden?
