I am working on a custom patcher that receives the script names of [pict] objects and changes their depths via sendtoback and bringtofront. The current patch below does not work, as the images flickers.

If I manually add the script name on the mouse over call to the actual script name instead of using the inlet value, it works as such:

I have theories on why this is occurring, I am just not sure why that line determines its correct functionality. Am I changing the value of $1 when I append text and remove spaces from the passed value to get the correct roll over name?

Edit #1: After further testing, the swapped image is technically hovered over when the images are swapped because the mouse was previously on the other image prior to the swap. Anyone have a better solution than my current example?

Edit #2: I realize that it is my logic for renaming and swapping the images that is causing the problem because of Edit #1. My thoughts are to add a variable or counter for testing the initial swap. If the counter is 1, then do not trigger the roll over and reset the counter to 0.
