[beginner] x,y coordinates in LiveCode

[dunbarx at aol.com]

Shawn:


Do you need the "x,y" if all you are trying to do is find the locs of controls? Perhaps in the card script:


on mouseWithin --or "mouseEnter"?
put the name of the target && the loc of the target
end mouseWithin


But there are other ways as well, using the "within" operator with a "mouseMove" message, for example.

What are you trying to do? If you run into problems, give us an idea of the task 
at hand and you'll probably get lots of ideas on how to accomplish it.
