this one will also work WITHOUT the Rev-Gui, means in MC,
and does the same :-)

on mouseDown

You tend to leave no choice to the user ;-)
With a "mouseUP" the user HAS the chance to make up his/her mind...

on mouseup
    answer file "Is there any beer left?"
    set the defaultstack to "?B?"
    import paint from file it
    set the name of last img to "XX"
end mouseup

Et voila :-)
