Can a mouseclick simultaneously send a message as it ends a "repeat until the mouseclick" loop?

Hi Mark,

Even though your 'repeat until the mouseClick' is
considered a 'no-no' because it gobbles up all the CPU
time, you should have a look at the 'mouseControl'
definition in the Transcript documentation.
Basically, it gives you the type and the number of the
control the mouse pointer is currently hovering over.
So your loop should end something like this:

  repeat until the mouseClick
    -- do your slideshow here
  end repeat
  get the mouseControl
  if it is not empty then send "mouseUp" to it

Hope this helped,

Jan Schenkel.
