I input this handler from Claris' "HyperCard Script Language Guide", page 282: on mouseUp put "Click or don't click..." wait 5 seconds if the mouseClick then put "You clicked." else put "You didn't click." end if end mouseUp (In a button on the Home card). It always returns "Your clicked." even when I don't click. Also, the statement "wait until the mouse is down" never seems to wait. Anyone else see this? System Configuration: Macintosh II 5 MB, System 6.0.5, several inits, including Ed (Not), and Disinfectant INIT. - David

Re: the HC scrip tthat waited for 5 secs and then reported whether or not you clicked, except it always thinks you clicked. I don't have 2.0v2 HC (yet), but try this: put the line "wait while the mouseclick" at the top of the handler. This will clear out the event q of any leftover unprocessed clicks. I find it handy for clearing up probs with users clicking twice instead of once, causing the second click to do something unexpected. gort@cup.portal.com disclaimer: this is not a disclaimer.

When I clicked, it said I clicked. When I didn't click, it said I did not click. Perhaps you are double-clicking the button? Try clicking just once. Try this alternative and tell me what happens: on mouseLeave put "Click or don't click..." wait 5 seconds if the mouseClick then put "You clicked." else put "You didn't click." end if end mouseLeave -Bill Marriott Lou@cup.portal.com
