I'm trying to figure out how to pick all the instances NOT met in the condition:
If Mouse is overlapping MenuItem Set MenuItem frame 1 Pick All Other Instances

Set MenuItem frame 0[/code:1ny6tj49]

Something like this. My usual non-coding way of doing it would be to set an instance variable for each individual one and do:

If MenuItem Var = 1

Set Frame to 1

>>>>>If Menu Item Var 2

>>>>>If Menu Item Var 3

>>>>>If Menu Item Var 4

>>>>>If Menu Item Var 5

>>>>>If Menu Item Var 6

>>>>>If Menu Item Var 7

>>>>>If Menu Item Var 8

>>>>>>>>>>Set Frame to 0[/code:1ny6tj49]

But this gets incredibly messy. Am I over-complicating this?

Simply change all before changing the desired object.

For instance:

Main Event

On mouse overlapping menuitem

action: tmpvariable = menuitem.UID

sub event 1

pick all menuitem

action: menuitem set frame 0

sub event 2

pick menuitem by evaluate menuitem.UID = tmpvariable

action: menuitem set frame 1
