Selecting Multiple Buttons in iOS

[Randy Hengst]

Hi Jaque,

I've continued to play with this idea.

I've moved my handlers to the card script.

I have a variable set as a marker… it's made "true" in the mouseDown.

However, a mouseEnter does not seem to be sent while a dragging with the mouse (or your finger in iOS) down… neither does the mouseLoc() get updated…

The mouseEnter script does set the highlight when I just click a different button to set the flag... 

So, I can make each of the parts work.. .set the flag in mouseDown, use mouseEnter to highlight the button but, still no luck trying to combine them into one "swipe" type of move in iOS.

Any thoughts as to what I continue to mess up?

be well,
randy

Write a mouseEnter handler that checks to see if the script local flag is true and if the target is one of the ten buttons in the row. If so, hilite that button. On mouseUp, set the flag to false so hiliting will stop.
