How To Send Before?

[Monte Goulding]

Why not:

before mouseDown
   DoMyStuff
end mouseDown

before mouseDoubleDown
   DoMyStuff
end mouseDoubleDown

on DoMyStuff

end DoMyStuff

Alternatively seeing as before mouseDown should actually trigger before mouseDoubleDown you may want to just store some state in script local vars. As Mark pointed out you probably don't really want to run the same mouseDown code 3 times.

Cheers
