I would like some advice on a general programming question. I'll probably be
attempting this with The Director2 by Right Answers group. If there are any of
you out there who use this program, I'd be interested to hear from you. There's
a function in the program called IFMOUSE. This can continuously return x,y
coordinates while the mouse is being moved. It returns x=-1 when the mouse
isn't moving. Now, I'd like to be able to tell where the mouse is being moved
and how fast it is moving. If there is a way to "grab" the x,y coordinates as
soon as they're non -1 and as soon as they return to -1 that'd be a start, but
since as soon as x=-1 whatever x was just before that would have to held
somewhere. Any ideas on this one? Even if you don't know the Director, there
should be a gen'l programming concept to do this. Thanks, GR
