How to detect when mouse is over a layout or group ?

[r4dius]

Hi,
I would want to detect when the mouse is over the player or not but it looks like onEnterArea / onLeaveArea are not working for layouts nor groups :/

I'm currently using this code

PHP Code:

isovershade.onTimer() {
    int x = mainbackgroundalphashade.getMousePosX();
    int y = mainbackgroundalphashade.getMousePosY();

    if(x > 0 && x <= MainShadeGrp.getWidth() && y > 0 && y <= MainShadeGrp.getHeight()) {
        if(ov == 0){
            ov = 1;
            animateresizew(textoverlayshade, textoverlayshadex, textoverlayshadew);
        }
    } else if(ov == 1) {
        ov = 0;
          animateresizew(textoverlayshade, 8, -16);
    }    
} 


mainbackgroundalphashade is the group with the background image, it's all the width and height so I can calculte when the mouse is in this area, if someone has a better alternative (without timer it would be great)
Thanks

your best bet is to create a small skin and use onEnterArea / onLeaveArea for a layout and group to prove theyr not working, so they can be fixed in a future build

avoid the timer if you can imo

onEnterArea and onLeaveArea work for GUIObjects and classes derived from there.
