Mouse drag detection

[Jinks]

Hello,
I don't know if here is the best place to ask this, but I want to know if there's an elegant way to detect mouse click & drag while also having the simple mouse click behaviour doing something different.
I'm trying to build an iPhone "emulator" for interface mock-ups and i want to simulate the touch and touch and drag behaviors.
I found a drag behavior in an example from Greyhill's move by bezier extension, but I'm not afraid to admit that I don't understand how it works, and in the spirit of learning I don't want to just copy/paste it and hope it works for me too.
If someone could give me a hint, I would be grateful.

Cheers.

Hello. You can try with the DLL Object and see in the "user32.dll" library that have various fuctions of mouse.

Is the Call DLL object still available? Links leading to 3EE site point to an invalid page.
Anyway, I managed to find a workaround for dragging, but a "start dragging/stop dragging" and mouse delta values for X, Y would've been a ton of help.

There is a new DLL extension not the old 3EE one.
Download Fusion Updater and use it. http://www.clickteam.com/FusionUpdater.zip
You can tell it to grab and install all the latest extensions.

Thanks, I will, seems a handy way to put keep extensions under control.
I checked user32.dll functions and it seems that Microsoft itself decided to make things complicated and offers mouse delta as "mickeys", which need a strange formula to be converted into pixels.
A mouse event trigger like "has mouse moved?" would still be nice.

What are you guys on about with dll's? If I didn't misunderstood something you can do all of this with simple events. Check out Novabrain's mousedrag widget in the widget filearchieve for a start

To detect if the mouse has been moved, always save the mouse positions to counters and simply test if mouse position is different from the saved values.
