    Newbie.  Can't get rollOver to work

      Hi,

       

      Using Director 12 trial.

       

      I've been off of Director for 12 years.  I used to know a little Lingo, but I've forgotten most of it.  Came back to Director to do a simple interactive menu that launches different QT movies.  All of the limited scripting I've done so far is working, except for rollOver command.

       

       

      Nothing I do will get a rollOver response.  So simple, but can't figure out why it's not working.

       

      simple example...

       

      >>

      on exitFrame me

           go to frame

       

           if rollOver(12) then beep

           else nothing

       

      end if

       

      end

      <<

       

      lIke I said, my other scripts work fine.  But rollOver isn't working.  I'm trying to get buttons to highlight as they're rolled over.

            if rollOver(12) then

              beep

            else

              nothing

            end if

           

            go to the frame

          end

           

           

          examples of behavior applied on a sprite //


          Property pMe
          Property pMeColor
          Property pMeRollOverColor

           

          on beginSprite me
            pMe = sprite(me.spritenum)
            pMeColor = 10 (grey)
            pMeRollOverColor = 0 (white)
           
            sprite(pMe).forecolor = pMeColor
            end


          on exitFrame me
           
            if  rollover (pMe) then
             
              sprite(pMe).forecolor = pMeRollOverColor
            else
              sprite(pMe).forecolor = pMeColor 
            end if
           

          go to the frame
          end

           

          on mouseUp (me)

          --whatever

          end

          --------------


          Property pMe
          Property pOrigMember
          Property pRollOverMember

          on beginSprite me


          pMe = sprite(me.spritenum)
          pOrigMember = member "black" -- bitmap Castmember
          pRollOverMember = member "white"  -- bitmap Castmember
           
          sprite(pMe).member = pOrigMember

          end


          on exitFrame me
           
            if  rollover (pMe) then
             
             sprite(pMe).member = pRollOverMember
            else
              sprite(pMe).member = pOrigMember
            end if
           
            go to the frame
          end

           

           

          on mouseUp (me)

          --whatever

          end

            Thanks so much.  I got it to work by using MouseEnter handler.  But your code is much more efficient, and I'm really grateful to have this going forward.
