All this IS in fact in my script!
At least the necessary logic could be extracted from it... ;-)

on mouseUp
   put the customKeys of this stack into myCustomKeys
      if "CustomTest1" is not in myCustomKeys then
     set the CustomTest1 of this stack to false

     exit mouseup
     ## condition nr 2

   end if
   set the "CustomTest1" of this stack to false
end mouseUp

Hope that helps...
