Björnke,

Could flushEvents() be helpful in this situation? 

Maybe something like this:

on mouseDoubleUp
  send "mouseUp" to me
end mouseDoubleUp

on mouseUp
  # if the handler hasn't finished, or some predetermined time period hasn't elapsed:
  flushEvents("mouseUp")
end mouseUp

Not tested, just thinking out loud.

Devin
