Odd, I tested it before I posted and it worked (at least on Mac, what OS 
are you on?) Only I didn't have your flipping code so I just set the 
color of a field instead. If you change the flip to something like "set 
the backcolor of fld 1 to red" on flip and "set the backcolor of fld 1 
to empty" on un-flip, does that work? If so, then see if there's 
anything in your other handler that's changing the behavior.

I wouldn't expect flushevents to work, the messages are coming in faster 
than you can clear them.
