is within ... polygon shape?

[Lynch, Jonathan]

Perhaps I am confused...

But if you are going to hide the top object, then put the mouse over the
polygon - then all you would need to do is use the mousecontrol
function. If the mouseControl is the polygon in question - then you've
got it.

However, this does not tell you if any point of the top object is over
the polygon. This would only tell you if the point at which you place
the mouse is over the polygon. If pLoc is in the middle of the top
object, but only the edge of the top object is over the polygon, then
this test would miss the overlap.

Eric,

Wow!
Now THAT is an ingenious approach!!! :-)
and it might be just the solution needed.

I'll give it a shot.
