I think you are getting recursion. Setting the screenMouseLoc causes
mouseMove to be sent. You might want to try locking messages before
setting screenMouseLoc.

Greetings
This is my annual mailing on this topic. I won't bore you with why I
need to do this deprecated act, but I do.
Basically I need the pointer to refuse to move outside a rect, and just
'bounce' against the edge. No recoil or anything fancy, just stop until
the user moves elsewhere with the rect. I had a script that worked in a
standalone in 1.1.1. It was inelegant, but effectively. It became
painfully slow and jerky in 2.x.
Hi David,
basically, this modified version of the script works:
on mouseMove X,Y
if the hilite of button "constrain" is true then
put the rect of fld "container" into Fred
put min (item 3 of Fred , max (item 1 of Fred, X)) into X
put min (item 4 of Fred , max (item 2 of Fred, Y)) into Y
get the globalloc of (X,Y)
set the screenMouseLoc to it
end if
end mouseMove
but it is *incredibly* slow on OSX (not tried on Windows). I'm not quite
sure what it is that's slowing this down - does setting the ScreenMouseLoc
send a MouseMove message itself? There's bound to be a better way of doing
this?
