Anybody know if it's possible to detect mouse clicks in a projector's 
offstage border?

In director 5, I've polled the mouseDown (yuck!).

I've also tried creating my own border with a large MIAW and playing 
everything else in a smaller MIAW on top.

I've used DirectOS dosClipCursor. So far this has been the best 
solution, but ideally I like to avoid adding more xtras to the 
project. Next I might try rolling my own clip cursor function with 
buddy, which we're already using. But that's still a little klugy.

I suppose we could resize the stage, but I think that would involve 
repositioning all the sprites at runtime(?).

I see that director 8 on the mac now detects mouseDown in the 
projector's border, but solution needs to be cross platform.

Am I missing anything?

Thanks for any pointers,
Cole
