Oh, I see, you want to know when you deselect, and there is no "deSelectedObjectChanged" message. Can't you set a custom property when the object of interest is selected, and check the target when the "selectedObjectChanged" message fires, and if that new target is not that original object, let you know?

Hi All: I recently ran into a situation where I need to trap selectedObjectChanged after clicking on something other than the selected control (as opposed to clicking on the card where nothing is selected). Can you detect this without resorting to a front/backScript or a card/stack-level script? I have a control that changes its state when it is selected, and I need to revert that state when the object is deselected. Starting with the selected control, if I click on the card (click nothing), the control gets the selectedObjectChanged message and can be reset. But if I click on another object, there doesn't seem to be a built-in way for the control to detect this. I've resorted to loading a backScript to tell the original control that it has been deselected, but this seems fragile and I'm wondering if there's a better way to handle this. Thanks for suggestions.
