It figures that it was the very last item listed when I searched for Mouse. I didn't expect the word screen to be a part of it. Me neither when I was looking for the same thing a while back. :) It kinda makes sense, though: the pointer is a global object, and the mouseLoc is a translation of those global coordinates into local space, so as a translation is can't be set. The screenMouseLoc being global makes it a reasonably sensible way to set the position. -- Richard Gaskin Fourth World Rev training and consulting: http://www.fourthworld.com Webzine for Rev developers: http://www.revjournal.com revJournal blog: http://revjournal.com/blog.irv ___ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
Drag/Move Cursor?

The documentation is not very clear on how to accomplish this. I have done a fair bit of mucking around moving and constraining the cursor. It can get a bit ugly, tricky, disturbing for the user and deprecated by user interface purists. Much better to hide the cursor (set the cursor to none) and then show a fake cursor which you can move between two points or along a path as you would with any object. You can even colour the teaching cursor to indicate that this is showing the user something and so won't be responsive to mouse movements.

Drag/Move Cursor?
Hi there, I've been trying to figure out how to programmatically move/drag the cursor in a stack to mimic what a human would do, as a teaching aid. The documentation is not very clear on how to accomplish this. Has anyone done this successfully before, who could point me in the correct direction? Thanks in advance!
