Combined Events

[Jim Ault]

Why are you using "theButton" as a parameter?

First, where is the mouseDown handler?

In the message path, it should be either
in the button or field the user clicks
or in the card, stack, or back script behind the button or field.

If the mouseDown handler is in the button or field, use
on mouseDown
since the button clicked is known.

If the mouseDown handler is in the card or stack script then use

on mouseDown
   answer the target
   if the target contains "button 1 " then
      -- a button was clicked and its number is 1
      ...do this
   end if
end mouseDown
