Intersect() or Within Issues

Hi all I wonder if someone can point me in the right direction.
I have 5 images and one of the images is set as "target" via name and the rest is just "button" by name.
I have a grab image which has a simple script of:
if within (img "button", the MouseLoc) then
show img "XXX"
end if
if within (img "target", the MouseLoc) then
show img "XXX"
end if
Now when I use the MouseUp handler above it only works on 2 out of the 4 possible "button" target options.
I have tried both intersect() and within with the same results. Is there something I am missing?
Thanks all
I have checked the docs but nothing relevant that I can see.

Hi istech,
I think the problem is that you have 4 images with the SAME name on your card.
If LC accesses an object by NAME, it will always use the object with that name at the lowest layer!
Means, LC only checks if the FIRST (lowest layer) image named "button" is intersecting your other image.
But how is your script:
Code: Select all
...
if within (img "button", the MouseLoc) then
show img "XXX"
end if
if within (img "target", the MouseLoc) then
show img "XXX"
end if
...
triggered?
Mouse-up/down/enter/move?
Best

Hi Klaus,
I think you are right Klaus. I have changed the layer before had the same problem but different image. So if I was to set it using the IDs instead it should be fine? Or should I go at it in the different direction.
I just used this:
on mouseDown
grab me
end mouseDown
on mouseUp
if within (img "button", the MouseLoc) then
show img "XXX"
end if
if within (img "target", the MouseLoc) then
show img "XXX"
end mouseUp
Thanks again Klaus you are a life saver and a credit to the forums.

Hi istech,
I would name the images:
button1
button2
button3
button4
And then use a repeat loop to check ALL of them, that WILL work.
Having multiple objects with the same name IS asking for trouble
Code: Select all
on mouseUp
repeat with i = 1 to 4
if within (img ("button" & i), the MouseLoc) then
show img "XXX"
## Only ONE hit possible, right? Otherwise delete this line
exit repeat
end if
end repeat
if within (img "target", the MouseLoc) then
show img "XXX"
end if
end mouseUp
Best
