But it does buffer the mouseClick state! (MOO-ha-ha-ha-ha.)

I should have known you'd have that in your memory banks.

Now, girls...

But Jeanne makes a point. The old, old way to emulate a double click back in the day was:

Code: Select all

on mouseUp
wait 30
if the mouseClick then...
...

So the state of the mouse was queued even during a blocking interval. I am not going back to test using "if the mouseClick" instead of "if the mouse is down", but I bet a boxed floppy disc set of HC 2.1 it would work just fine.
