Anonymous said...: quick question; could you elaborat a bit on the line:
if ((menu.mouseYmenu.height&&menu.mouseY>0) && (menu.mouseXmenu.width&&menu.mouseX>0))

I'm having trouble wrapping my head around this. I understand how it works in that it's checking if the mouse is over the menu, but what property is menu.mouseY?; August 23, 2009 at 5:51 PM
