Wow! That's a great little script. I substituted rawKeyDown for
keyDown and it worked with the arrowKeys perfectly. A MUCH better
solution than trapping the arrowKey message. Thanks!

Couldn't see a way as you requested but I tried to approach this
from a
different direction. The following script starts a repeat loop when
the
button is 'down' and continues until the 'keyUp' message:
------------------------------------------
local tMyKeyDown
on keyDown downKey
put true into tMyKeyDown
put the rect of button "Check" of stack "Untitled 1" into tMyRect
repeat until tMyKeyDown = "false"
if (downKey = ",") then
subtract 3 from item 1 of tMyRect
end if
if (downKey = ".") then
add 3 to item 1 of tMyRect
end if
set the rect of button "Check" of stack "Untitled 1" to tMyRect
wait 1 millisecond with messages
end repeat
end keydown
on keyUp upKey
put false into tMyKeyDown
end keyUp
----------------------------------------------------
I just tested this on a button and it nicely moves the button left
(comma
key down) or right (period key down). The trick is in the 'wait with
messages' so you can capture the keyUp message.
I'm working on adding
arrowKey control for a Pong type game and it would be nice to
eliminate that normally useful lag.
Unfortunately in the quick time I whipped this up I couldn't get it
to work
with the arrow keys as they didn't seem to send keyDown messages -
at least
not on my Mac PB.
The smoothness of the movement is easily adjusted by varying the 1
millisecond wait and the 3 units of movement in my example.
