Hi All,

Has anyone given any thought or scripting time to exploring what it would take to draw a circle that is centered over the loc of the original mouseDown?

In the course of public presentation I would like to project a map and allow people in the audience to identify an area on the map by drawing a circle around it with a mouse.

Using Transcript's oval tool the loc & shape of a circle change as the mouseLoc changes. I want the effect of a perfect circle growing or shrinking around a fixed point as the mouse recedes from or approaches that point.

At the moment, the approach I'm contemplating involves:

1. Drawing a minimal circle on mouseDown
2. Changing the oval tool's ink (or visible property?) to make a new invisible oval.
3. On mouseMove change the width & height of the original circle to the distance between the mouseDown loc and the current mouse loc
4. On mouseUp delete the invisible oval.


Anyone have any comments or a better solution to offer?

TIA.
