mouse within oval filled area

[Randy Hengst]

Hi Hugh,

I haven't done exactly as you describe, but have made things where I only wanted a response when the user clicked the filled area of a graphic.

I used the function version of within….

This script in the graphic….

on mouseUp
   if within(graphic "myGraphic",the mouseLoc) then
      beep
   end if
end mouseUp


The beep only happens on the filled area of the graphic.

be well,
randy hengst
