Thanks, Roy--but no, not really. The movement is still laggy, just as it
was when I had the stillDown in my exitFrame handler. You're right--when I
adjust location in the sprite's handlers, I lose the stillDown, but not
when I do that in exitFrame: the result is the same whether I use a flag or
the stillDown. The sprite moves way behind the mouse pointer (comical,
almost). This is under Windows 2000, 450 MHz, D8. And the sprite's member
is a small text member with Background Transparent ink. Any other ways to
achieve that?
