MouseLeave and linked text question: 2nd try

[Mark Swindell]

I posted this yesterday but it may have got lost in the shuffle.  I'm 
really hoping someone might explain the following scenario to me...  
what message (besides mouseMove) is sent to Revolution when the 
hovering mouse moves off a chunk of linked text?
Thanks,
Mark
