before vs on in behavior scripts

[Scott Rossi]

I didn't realize it until just now, but this is the order of events:

before mouseUp
   answer "A"
end mouseUp

on mouseUp
   answer "B"
end mouseUp

after mouseUp
   answer "C"
end mouseUp


Really cool stuff for custom behaviors, but I'm still trying to come up
with a nifty use for the "after" event.
