Getting mouseColor from outside the app window

[Mark Schonewille]

Right, how can I forget about the mouseColor... Must be friday  
afternoon. Thanks Malte!

Btw, I haven't said this yet: congratulations with AE3! Very  
impressive as always! I really love what you do with the bouncing  
effect (or is it called gravity effect) in your demos.
