Mouse messages while down

[Jerry Daniels]

I prefer the method Bill Marriott suggested:

set a global (or a script local) on a mouseDown event and then track  
the coordinates via mouseMove.

You can theoretically track the location of the mouse (pointer)  
during mouseMove without using a local or global in a mouseDown  
handler, but then you have to use "the mouse is down" to test within  
the mouseMove handler, and that can be problematic as it tends to  
"eat" the mouseUp message and is generally inefficient, in my  
experience.

Best,
