Betreff: Re: why does lock screen doesn't locks the screen?
lock screen only locks the window contents, not the whole screen
(despite
the name) and never the cursor. The cursor belongs to the user and lives
above the screen. But you can lock cursor to keep in in the shape that
you
want.
I can't get set cursor to none to hide the cursor here, so there may be
something wrong with that feature. What you can do instead is make a 16x16
all-alpha png file and import that into the stack. Then you can set the
cursor to that image's id and then lock the cursor and do your movements.
When the handler exits, the lock will be released, but it's always better
to
put an unlock cursor (or screen) because these commands stack. (Five
locks
takes five unlocks.)
I made such an image and tested it, and it worked. I'd give you a link to
the image, but Dropbox is being flaky right now. Wait... I'll put it on
another server:

And here's my script. I made sure the points I picked were over different
objects, like a field, to make sure the cursor wouldn't change as it would
normally.
on mouseUp
set the cursor to 1007
lock cursor
set the cursor to 1007
wait 50
repeat with a = 1 to 4
set the screenmouseloc to word a of 202,398 290,270 168,222
363,594
wait 50
end repeat
end mouseUp
Hope that helps.

Hello,
In a function I set the screenMouseLoc to four different locations on an
image to get the mousecolor of these four locations.
I have set the screen lock at the beginning of the function, but the
cursor
is flickering at all four locations, so obviously the screen is redrawn
everytime I set the mouse at a new location though the screenloc is
true.
What can I do to not see the mouse (and perhaps speed up the function),
and
why does the lock screen doesn't work in this case?
Thanks
Tiemo
