Me again I'm afraid :grin:

I have an active object and a string object (which starts of invisible). When the mouse pointer is over the active, the string is made visible, that part I can do, but how to you make the string object invisible again when the mouse is moved off the active?

Make an event like this:

Pointer is over 'Active' --> Make invisible 'string'

Then right click over the "pointer is over" text, and click 'Negate'.
Now your event will have a big X to the left, which means "When pointer is not over active".

Good luck Nickydude!

That worked great. I just made two conditions as "if mouse is over an object" and negated one of them. Thanks

For efficiency make sure to add to that condition "only one action when event loops".

It can be found as a submenu for the "special" object (looks like a monitor with a question mark), under "limit condition" in the menu.

If you look at your logic your condition will always be met when the pointer isnt over the active object, so it will always be showing the string again each loop, by adding "only one action when event loops" the actions will only happen once until the condition changes and is met again.

Or else you could do instead -

Pointer is Not over 'Active'
+ 'string' is invisible --> Make visible 'string'

Thanks. Just looked at your 'resizing applications' tutorial and must say that's it's helped a hell of a lot for an up and coming project, well done!
