I think you'll have to use an interval, but you don't have to constantly
check the mouse. Pseudo-code below:
this.onMouseMove = function(){
// When the mouse is moved, clear any pending "not moved" timeout
// interval so the callback *isn't* called (Note
// "clearMouseNotMoveTimeout isn't a real API function)...
clearMouseNotMoveTimeout();
// Do processing for mouse movement...
moving=true;
// Reset the "not moved" timeout interval callback (note this would be
// a call to something like setInterval(); "setMouseNotMoveTimeout"
// isn't a real API function)...
setMouseNotMoveTimeout(notMoveTimeoutCallback);
}
function notMoveTimeoutCallback(){
// Handle code for mouse not moving in specified timeframe...
}
Hope this helps...

Subject: [Flashcoders] onMouseMove false
Is there an efficient way to trigger an onMouseNOTMove without having to run
an interval or do an onEnterFrame to constantly check the mouse?
I want to set a varialble when mouse is moving and reset it when mouse is
still.
ie. something like if it were possible:
this.onMouseMove = function(){
moving=true;
}
this.onMouseStop = function(){
moving=false;
}
