Yeah, bad idea. At least, according to Mr. Raney. Sometimes it's the
only way though.
A more politically correct way is to use a mousemove handler. Set a
script local when the mouse goes down or up. Then use mousemove to check
whether the variable flag is set. If not, pass mousemove. If so, check
the mouse location. Off the top of my head:
The top of your head worked fine thanks Jacque :-)
I'm now doing the politically correct mouseMove instead of using
repeat while mouse is down. But it still leaves me having to check the
location all the time to see whether it is inside one of my 400
buttons. It seems that the mouseControl should be able to report where
the mouse is without me having to check it manually. But mouseControl
gets stuck when you click down and never changes until the mouse comes
up again.
Thanks to everyone for their thoughts and suggestions.
Cheers,
Sarah
