Hi Eva,
The simple:
on mouseMove x,y
if the mouse is down then set the loc of me to x,y
end mouseMove
The more efficient:
local lMouseDown
on mouseDown
put true into lMouseDown
end mousedown
on mouseUp
put false into lMouseDown
end mouseUp
on mouseMove x,y
if lMouseDown then set the loc of me to x,y
end mouseMove
The latter example is more efficient because the state of the mouse is not
continuously evaluated using the mouse() function. A variable is queried
instead which is a much less intensive operation, especially on Unix systems
where the mouse() function is slower. Depending on what you are doing, the
first method is likely to be sufficient for your needs. HTH
Cheers,
Alan
