Finding mouse pointer locations with Lingo
Determining where the mouse pointer is on the Stage is a common need in Director.
To determine the mouse pointer's horizontal and vertical positions, use the mouseH()
and mouseV()
functions. See mouseH
and mouseV
.
The mouseV()
function returns the distance, in pixels, between the mouse pointer and the upper left corner of the Stage. The mouseH()
function returns the distance, in pixels, between the mouse pointer and the upper left corner of the Stage.
The statements put the mouseH
and put the mouseV
display the mouse pointer's location in the Message window.
For example, this handler directs the Message window to display the distance (in pixels) between the pointer and the upper left corner of the Stage:
on exitFrame put the mouseH put the mouseV go to the frame end
