Michael, try this in the card script

on mouseDown
  repeat while the mouse is down
    get the mouseLoc
    repeat with n = 1 to the number of btns
      if it is within the rect of btn n then
        set the hilite of btn n to true
      else
        set the hilite of btn n to false
      end if
    end repeat
  end repeat
end mouseDown
