I had a situation where I wanted to cause a text file to load into a field alongside a button which was contextural to the button. The user could then click the button in the normal way to exit to a different card. I thought the Hover might work or Hilite or other "suspects" but it would not work.
Is it possible to cause a script in the button to run when hovering on it, but run a different script using the on mouseup in the normal way.
The point of all this was to display help in a field that changed depending on which button was hovered over, but do something else when clicked.
Any ideas?

Look up mouseEnter in the dictionary. Should be what you're looking for.

Thank you sturgis, that did the trick. I missed that one and I did read through the dictionary.

It is a neat effect!
