is within ... polygon shape?

[Eric Chatonet]

Re Steve,

Another funny approach:

function WhichObject pLoc,pObj
   local tCurLoc, tColor
   -----
   put the screenMouseLoc into tCurLoc
   lock screen
   hide pObj
   set the screenMouseloc to globalLoc(pLoc)
   put the mouseColor into tColor
   set the screenMouseloc to tCurLoc
   show pObj
   unlock screen
   return WhatKindOfObject(tColor)
end WhichObject

WhatKindOfObject function would return the right object according to  
the passed  color  :-)
Not tested... but should work.
Ah, there are so many ways to do a job with Rev!
