Pencil doesn't trigger mousedown?

[Thomas McGrath III]

Xavier,

I don't know what mouseDown event you are needing but recently I fought 
the mouseDown and the mouseDown won. I did use other listers advice and 
start a self running loop (send checkMouse to me in 50 milliseconds) 
and look for an "if the mouse is down" or "if the mouse is up" in the 
checkMouse handler and that seemed to work fine. In fact since I didn't 
want to use the mouseMove it seemed the only other choice available to 
me.
I don't know if it will work for you but give it a try.

-- this acts just like a mouseDown message while holding the mouseDown 
and exits (after doing a mouseUp ).

on checkMouse
if the mouse is down then
-- do something important 
end if
if the mouse is up then
-- do something else
exit checkMouse
end if
send checkMouse to me in 50 miliseconds
end if
