how can I stop a mouseenter-command

[Reinhold Venzl-Schubert-2]

Hi!

I have a lazy finger and don't want to click the mouse.
When the mouse enters a button on my card its script shall wait 1 second.
When meanwhile the mouse has leaved, the script shall stop.
Only when the mouse stays over the button the script shall work on.

Therefore my button has a script like this:

on mouseenter
  put "inside" into tMouseOut
   wait 1 second
   if tMouseOut is not "inside" then
      exit mouseenter
   else
      ## do anything important
   end if
end mouseenter

on mouseleave
   put empty into tMouseOut
end mouseleave

But my script works as well as the mouse stay over the button or leave it.
What is my mistake.

Thanks
Reinhold

Is your tMouseOut variable declared outside of the handlers? Otherwise, tMouseOut is just a separate variable in each handler's context.
Also, may I suggest renaming such script-local variables, starting with an 's' instead of a 't' - see also the Scripting Style Guide here: <http://www.fourthworld.com/embassy/articles/scriptstyle.html>
Of course, it's not mandatory, but it helps :-)

The variable issue suggested by Jan is likely your problem. But do you
think this is nicer?

on mouseEnter
   wait 1 second
   if the mouseLoc is within the rect of me then doYourStuff
end mouseEnter

As well as what Jan said about making tMouseout a global (or, better, a
script local) variable, you probably also need to change
  wait 1 second
to
   wait 1 second with messages

otherwise the mouseleave message won't be processed while you wait, and
therefore the variable won't be changed.

But beware that this will wrongly fire if you pass the mouse through a
button, i.e. enter the button, leave it and re-enter it before one
second later.

Of course, the wait with messages using a simple boolean value such as
tMouseOut has similar, though more subtle, failure modes; e.g. if you
enter, then leave and then re-enter the button within the one second
interval of the "wait with messages".

I was going to suggest an alternative (keeping track of "the millisecs")
but when I tested it, I found that I did not reliably get the
'mouseleave' messages if I enter + leave + enter within a short time
period. (This was detectable using both my on code and using the message
watcher).  So I'd recommend first testing that you do get these messages
reliably (maybe it's just me), and/or checking in the bug database to
see if there's any known problem with these messages.

Alex.

If you leave the button too soon nothing happens. Of course, if you zoom in
and out, like you say, well, I was able to invoke four "doStuffs" in a row.

Shows how important testing even simple ideas really is.

Just for the heck of it I decided to have a look at Revolution Media  
4.0.0. To this point I have been using Revolution 2.6.1.
The ability to save your stack for the web blew me away. Only one  
problem, I store hundreds of images in separate folders and call them  
into the stack as I need them. This doesn't work in the revlet. I  
imagine many on this list have solved this problem. Could someone  
post the appropriate script so that the revlet can access images  
stored in separate folders.
Thanks
Rick

The way I do it now is:
first I find the folder with the images

on gettheImageList
   global stackaddress, stackpath
   put the filename of this stack into stackpath
   set itemdel to "/"
   If (IsOSX()) then  -- to get Mac path
     get offset(".app/Contents/MacOS/", stackpath)
     if it > 0 then -- 2.4.3 or later
       delete char it to len(stackpath) of stackpath
     end if
   end if
   delete the last item of stackpath
   put stackpath into stackaddress
   put "/urinalysisTestImages" after stackaddress
end gettheImageList

Then I pick an image put it into gSlide and display it like this:

on displayimage
   global gSlide, stackaddress, correctanswer
   put stackaddress & gSlide into gSlide
   set the filename of image 1 to gSlide
   show image 1
end displayimage

Just change this line:

    set the filename of image 1 to gSlide

to this:

    put url ("binfile:" & gSlide) into image 1

It's the way it has to be for revlets.

Will do.
