Messages problem

[Thierry Arbellot]

The "something else" happens more than once when the click duration is 
longer than 10 millisec

Try to put the "something else" in the mouseDown handler, it will be 
processed only once per click

on mouseDown
    (do something else as well) -- Places a marker at the mouseLoc.
end mouseDown

on checkMouse
   (do some stuff) --Puts the mouseLoc into a field.
   send "checkMouse" to me  in  10 millisec
   --This loop is halted with a "mouseDoubleDown" in the card script.
end checkMouse
