No, the joystick is like moving the mouse without any button down.
I am currently listening to systemManager, I'll try stage to see if the behavior is any different.

If so, you should still get mouseMove from the stage.

It is a transparent UI that indirectly controls an underlying map application by sending messages via sockets. The product actually has a joystick and not a mouse and one requirement is that moving the joystick will cause the map to pan. In development, using a real mouse, when the mouse pointer hits a screen boundary, MouseMove events are no longer dispatched in that direction. In a corner, all events cease. This is causing me problems with continuing to send messages to the application to continue panning. I am hoping the joystick will behave differently, but am also looking for any other suggestions. I have considered using a timer to send repeated increments (the back-end app only needs position deltas), but I haven't figured out how to stop that. As far as I can tell, there is no way to set the position of the system cursor. If I could reset the mouse x,y to some positive values when it approached an edge, that would work as well. Is there anyway I can get "deeper" into the mouse event? If I could get a generic "moving" event, that would also suffice. Any thoughts? Tracy Spratt
