Mouse Pointer's Position

Is there a way to continually display the mouse pointer's position in the window?

  • By position, do you mean the window coordinates, or the object it is over?

    or perhaps the  coordinates of an object as it is being moved around

  • It sounds like you have a problem and think knowing the coordinates is the solution. My experience tells me that if you attach your .story file here with a good description of what you want, someone may find another, easier solution.

  • This was easily accomplished using Assymetric's Toolbook. I created a lesson on how to frisk for radioactive contamination.  As the mouse pointer approached a "Hot" spot, the simulated radiation level increased and decreased as the mouse pointer moved away.  This requires that the mouse position is always known in real time.
