What is the best way to get an 'idle' info of the textbutton (or other object where the mouse is over) within JS? 

I know that the right outlet of the textbutton shows this, but it's not very comfortable to build dozens of patch cords to get this info into the script. Any ideas, suggestions, hints?

question-mouse-idle

you can build an array with all your objects locations and check to see if the mouse has hit them. I think i have an example which i can post later.

this patch is not exactly what you want but you may be able to gleam some info from it.

You are right! Thanks a lot for your examples, Oli!

For me these scripts are very helpful for a better understanding of the possibilities between Max and JS.
