Re: Checking the location of a moving object
No, it's not completely blocking. The problem is that the very first call to checkit is BEFORE the move starts, so the movingcontrols is empty, so the send doesn't happen. Should work (i.e. it does in my simple stack :-) if you change it to (the equivalent of) on mouseUp move button "B" to 300,300 in 9 seconds without waiting checkit end mouseUp Note that you need the "without waiting" in order that the first checkit gets done immediately, rather than after the move. -- Alex.

Is a move completely blocking or am I doing something wrong? If I can't use move in this way, any suggestions?

Re: Checking the location of a moving object
David, I don't understand what you want, but you could always define a path instead of two points. Check all points on the path to see whether they are within the boundaries. If a point isn't within the boundaries, update it. Once you have a correct path, execute the move command. You might want to read more about the move command in the dictionary. -- Best regards, Mark Schonewille Economy-x-Talk Consulting and Software Engineering Homepage: http://economy-x-talk.com Twitter: http://twitter.com/xtalkprogrammer KvK: 50277553 Download the Installer Maker plugin for Runtime Revolution at http://qurl.tk/ce On 19 jul 2010, at 13:13, David Glasgow wrote: Hello folks.
