So much fun. Change the handler to this:
local pointsListon mouseDown  show btn 1 at "200,200"  set the points of grc 1 to "0,0" & comma & the loc of btn 1  put the points of grc 1 &return into pointsList  trackButtonend mouseDown
on trackButton  if the optionKey is down then exit to top -- exit here  set the loc of btn 1 to the mouseLoc  put the loc of btn 1 & return after pointsList  set the points of grc 1 to pointsList  send "trackButton" to me in 1end trackButton
Not sure how you want to stop drawing. Let me know how you decide that.

Hi ,

Thanks , so nearly - I have a line that follows the object from the top left corner.

What I need is just like drawing with a pen , the object being the tip. Where the object moves a line is drawn and remains like ink.


Regards
Camm

Hi.

Not sure what you really want, but maybe try this. On a new card create a
button and a line graphic. Put this into the button script:

on mouseDown
  trackButton
end mouseDown

on trackButton
  if the optionKey is down then exit to top -- exit here
  set the loc of btn 1 to the mouseLoc
  set the points of grc 1 to "10,10" & return & item 1 of the loc of btn 1
& "," & item 2 of the loc of btn 1
  send "trackButton" to me in 1
end trackButton
