Dave, If you are talking about moving objects around as you build your GUI you can use the arrow keys (at least I can on my Windows PC) to move a selected object in a straight line up/down or sideways. If you hold down the shift key, they move faster.

With a Kensington optical mouse on my Mac and the following handler in the control script: on mouseDown grab me end mouseDown you can use the shift key to constrain the control to horizontal or vertical movement. (I like this programmable mouse a great deal. Very versatile.) There is also a somewhat cumbersome solution which should work with other mice. Try the following handler in the control script: local myName, tLoc on mouseDown put the name of me into myName put the loc of me into tLoc end mouseDown on mouseUP put "" into myName end mouseUP on mouseLeave put "" into myName end mouseLeave on mouseMove x,y if myName is "" then exit mouseMove if the shiftKey is down then set the loc of me to x, item 2 of tLoc else set the loc of me to item 1 of tLoc, y end mouseMove In this was the control is constrained to horizontal movement if the shift key is down, and vertical if the shift key is up Jim. _______________________________________________ use-revolution mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution _______________________________________________ use-revolution mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
