Do something when mouse button has been released

[MrTAToad]

Have you thought of acting on a graphic only when the mouse has been released ?  If not, it might be an idea to - it solves a lot of problems with multiple detection problems when the user just holds down a mouse button - unless, of course, that sort of thing is needed.

The following code deals with that sort of thing, returning TRUE in button1% and/or button2% only if the relevent button has been released after it has been pressed.
