Pass event

Question

Is there a way to make events such as mouseEnter, mouseLeave,
mouseWithin,
etc. work on multiple sprites at the same time? Thus if
you're rolling over
2 sprites at once, a command is passed to both of them,
instead of just the
one on top? I was pretty sure that the "pass" command was
supposed to do
this, but it doesn't seem to do anything at all for these
handlers. (It
really should - would make it a much more useful command.) I
know I could
run a rollover script from a frame handler to get the same
effect, but this
would require individually checking each sprite with the
behavior, rather
than the behaviors handling themselves as they ideally
should.
(Particularly if the number of sprites using the behavior is
not a
constant.) Thus, I want something that works on the behavior
script itself,
rather than being operated by a third party like the frame
script or an
independant movie script. Any suggestions?

Answer 1

If you *have* to:
on mouseUp me, obj
if obj=me then exit
-- add code here.
put me, obj
-- if the script is a behavior, the obj.voidP check is
required.
if obj.voidP then sendAllSprites(#mouseUp, me)
end
