"within graphic" question

[Mark Wieder via use-livecode]

Hi list,

I have a graphic made of a list of points. This graphic is opaque
and invisible, its filled property is set to true (according to
the doc).
In my card script I have something like :
on mousedown
   put within(grc "mygraphic", the clickloc)
end mousedown

but it always returns false, even when I click
inside the clickable area of the graphic...
What am I missing ?

Thanks in advance.
jbv

IIRC invisible objects are removed from not only the rendering queue,
but hit-testing as well.

Would it work in your case if you left the graphic visible and set the blendLevel to 99?

be well,

Since the properties of the arc is available even if it is invisible, this will work though:

on mouseDown

put isWithin("myGraphic",the clickLoc)

end mouseDown


function isWithin pGraphic pClickLoc

if pClickLoc is within the rect of grc pGraphic then

return true

else

return false

end if

end isWithin


Best regards

I missed the part where you described your graphic. My solution will only work on a graphic that is a rectangle.

If you're willing to do something "hackish", you could do this:

on mouseDown
  lock screen
  show grc "mygraphic"
  put within(grc "mygraphic",the clickloc)
  hide grc "mygraphic"
  unlock screen
end mouseDown

:D

Thank you, but this won't work for I need to test the
exact shape of the graphics, not its bounding box...

 I’ve had this problem before and solved it with a work-around/hack using the intersect of 2 graphics with small alpha values.
