Hole in one

Feeling stupid:

Code: Select all

on mouseDown
      move me to the mouseLoc
end mouseDown

Richmond.

Is that handler in the graphic itself? If so, it will only move its loc to the mouseLoc. Timing yet to be determined.

But is that what you had in mind? I assume that whatever method is best, it does not rely upon the user clicking within the rect of the actual target of interest.

Also, I think that the OP wants the target to track the mouse, not just sidle over to the clickloc.

Maybe on mouseStillDown?

[richmond62]

I am the OP.

Why not mouseMove? A handler for that message in the card script can filter out unwanted controls, and tracks beautifully.

Because that was a 10 minute mental blip in the middle of some 9-10 year olds on-task . . .

A pupil of mine stated that that would take at least 10-12 lines of C#.

Richmond.

Do you mean in comparison to:

Code: Select all

on mouseMove
  set the loc of img "hole" to the mouseLoc
end mouseMove.

Does that count as one line or three?

1 line of functional code.
