mouseEnter/mouseLeave Problem

[David Burgun]

Ok, thanks, I will take a look, but I would just lke to know why what 
I have already doesn't work! What I have been trying to do as a 
work-around is this:

--
-- When mouseDown is called the current "top" will be the last 
selected Rectangle
-- Send a mouseLeave message to this Rectangle.
on mouseDown
put name of last graphic into myGraphicName

send "mouseLeave" to graphic myGraphicName

set layer of me to top
end mouseDown

This kind of fixes the problem in that if I click is the top most 
rectangle (e.g. the layer is not changed) then the rectanges change 
color as expected. If I click if the rectangle on the bottom, both 
rectangles get changed to blue.

I am wondering if there is any way to wait for the send command to 
complete? I am guessing that the set layer to top command is causing 
the mouseLeave message to be missed or dropped?

Thanks for any help
Dave
