Just hide the cursor ( set cursor to 0), and move a sprite around.

Subject: <lingo-l> Can I program a MIAW to control the cursor?
Hi Folks,
I've created a simulated version of a complex software package for use in a
CBT. There are many MIAWs and field members, drop-down menus, radio
buttons, check boxes, etc. This simulated software version will be used for
tutorials where we will instruct the user how to perform different functions
as well as involved exercises. My idea is to monitor their progress with a
moveable talking head MIAW. This MIAW will try to guide the user through
the exercises. But if the user gets stuck, I'd like the talking head MIAW
to take control and actually do that part of the exercise for them. Since
there so many menu items, radio buttons, etc. , it seems the easiest way for
the MIAW to take control would be to be able to control the cursor. Move it
across the screen, click on a menu item, click in a field to activate it,
then enter text, push buttons, all the things an instructor would do, if
needed by a user that just wasn't getting it. So my question is, can a MIAW
control the cur!
sor to this extent? I'm afaid the answer is NO, please let me know your
thoughts.
Thanx in advance,
g fritzinger
