brokenUnion

broken union Is it possible that the union() function is broken in 7.02? Dfw 6.5, NT4Sp4, AMD K6-II, 96MB Ram: -- Welcome to Director -- put union (rect (1,1,1,1),rect (10,10,10,10)) -- rect(1, 1, 10, 10) Same in DfW 7.02: -- Welcome to Director -- put union (rect (1,1,1,1),rect (10,10,10,10)) -- rect(0, 0, 0, 0) I rebooted the box, tried it again. It's real. Could anyone please check/confirm this? Best regards Daniel Plaenitz <http://www.lingo.de> >>Same result here.

I#m building a group of behaviors which detect clicks and mouseMovements in a grid and select areas accordingly. If there is no selection, the shape with reverse ink disappears in a zero area rect. (Why shoot it offstage if its current position is still a valuable information?) Now I tried to select a range of cells in that grid by setting the shapes rect to union(myRect,newRect) Which worked in d6, but failed now.
