movie script needed

[quest00]

I am working on a new project
I am trying to get a certain tune activated (castmember) when the curser moves
over a certain area on the stage ,without using sprites .

I would be verry happy if someone could help with some basic scripting.

Try using the inside function. For example:
if the mouseLoc.inside(rect(20,20,60,60)) then
alert "inside"
end if

But this will result in a problem. If you go to another frame, this effect will still linger on.
So currently I specify another condition to make sure that the effect is removed when it goes to another frame.

But is there any other way?
Any comments are welcome. Thanks.

Ok.
First, you need to determine the area for detecting the mouse. Drag a dummy sprite onto the stage and adjust the position and size to fit the area. Take note of the sprite's rect(the 4 numbers). That will be the area.
After that, you can delete away the sprite.

Now, go to a frame script and write this:
-----------------------------------------
property pArea

on beginSprite me
pArea = rect(the 4 numbers)
end

on exitframe me
go to the frame
if the mouseLoc.inside(pArea) then
alert "inside&quot
end if
end
-----------------------------------------

That's all. Hope this helps.
