[beginner] x,y coordinates in LiveCode

[Shawn Blc]

Thanks.  Colin I used your idea, then Richards.  Both work!  Here's what I
ended up with.

*on* mouseMove x,y

   *put* "Object: "& the name of the target && the loc of the target &\

      cr&"Mouse: "& x,y into fld "lblLocation"

*end* mouseMove


I'm doing not anything ground-breaking here.  Just trying to get a some
what good looking menu system.

Here's what I have:


*on* mouseUp

   *move* btn "btnA" to 95,102

   *move* btn "btnB" to 95,130

   *move* btn "btnC" to 95,158

   *move* btn "btnD" to 95,186

   *wait* until the mouse is up

*end* mouseUp


*on* mouseDoubleUp

   *move* btn "btnA" to 90,72

   *move* btn "btnB" to 90,72

   *move* btn "btnC" to 90,72

   *move* btn "btnD" to 90,72

   *wait* until the mouse is up

*end* mouseDoubleUp
