Thank you Mike Bonner, Mark Schonewille and Alejandre Tejada.
I did work in the direction of Mike and Marks script but I forgot to use Local.
That solved it.
Alejandro I did not dig deep into your stack as the solution was ready at hand
from Mike and Mark.
But you can always us a bezier script
Hi Michael,
This stack (and many other published stacks) have scripts
for tracking mouseX and mouseY within a mousemove handler:

Hoping I didn't mix up the x's and y's, I believe the script you need
looks like this:
local myOldX,myOldY
on mouseMove theNewX,theNewY
if myOldX < theNewX then put
"right" into myMovement
else
put "left" into myMoveMent
end if
if myOldY > myNewY then put
"down" into myMoveMe
You do need to track the last location... here is a stack that does what
you want. (script could be better i'm sure, but its a starting point.. )

Basically I put 4 square graphics on screen, top, bottom, right, and left
position.

Hi there
How can I determine if the mouse is moving left or right (or up or down) on the
screen in a mouseMove handler?
Not just from the outset (that is easy) but at any moment, like when a user
changes his mind and move the opposite way.
Something like put x into oldX will not work.
Thanks
