[beginner] x,y coordinates in LiveCode

[Colin Holgate]

You may notice by now the similarity between your suggestion and what I suggested. One slight difference is that I tested mine first, and discovered that mousewithin doesn’t work as a card script, at least not on its own. Reading the dictionary it seems that a mousewithin handler has to be inside the object itself.
