mouseDown and within

[Thomas McGrath III]

Pat,

Thanks, this is one of the ways I have been trying. Two things are 
wrong:
1. If the mouse is down then messages are still sent to the original 
control that took the mouseDown and it tries to highlight

2. This only highlights the button or sets the color to blue when moved 
within it but after leaving it leaves behind the blue.

I might have to stick with the Hover approach using the within message. 
But our Director guy was able to do it in Director and since I am 
duplicating that work in Rev it is a shame I won't be able to. I will 
have to explain that Rev just can't do it.

Thanks again to all,

Tom
