Bonjour Scott,

In my case, the script of the button is empty.
The handlers are in the script of the behavior to which the button is  
set (in fact, I was wrong: it is not a behavior of the group of the  
button; the behavior of the button is directly set to a behavior  
button, sorry ;-).

This behavior button relates to several buttons with something like :
if the short name of the target is "suchButton" then

so that the message path is
button > behavior

What I don't understand is why the handler is not taken into account  
on the first mouseDown message (which is actually sent) while it is  
taken into account on any subsequent mouseDown message!

Best regards
