Mouse Events

Top  Previous  Next

Event Handling procedures exist for Sprites / Objects (onSelfEvent()) and for Button Objects (on()). The exact Event being handled is defined by the Event name supplied to the onSelfEvent() or on() functions.

In Windows-based computers that support left and right mouse buttons, only the left mouse button is monitored (the right mouse button is not available on Mac computers).
