Why isn't Rev more popular?

Richard,

Thanks, (grinning) I had fun with frapper.

I did do a send in time message from a mouseDown that then checked  
for both mouseDowns and mouseUps during repeats and if neither  
existed then it stopped the loop. That part was fine and worked like  
a charm. The part that would have been less complex would have been  
the figuring out what the target was/is at any given moment. I had to  
do all kinds of checks to keep it right, whereas if the mouseDown,  
over the target and then up on a new target message didn't go back to  
mouseDown but rather to the target it was over then my job would have  
been real smooth. It worked but was more complex than needed.
This approach left mouseMove open for other things in the program  
which I needed too.

I am afraid at this point (after I signed the new NDA) I would need  
to have whoever looked at the project sign an NDA (maybe they would  
go for this).

With the recent thread describing what Rev can't do I wanted to show  
some of the things it could do.

Tom
