setting the position of the mouse

[ac3raven]

I did exactly that and now the cursor moves to the top of my screen.

wait, I got it. Now, the way its currently set up I can't move the mouse around the bounding box I set up.

Are you sure you entered it correctly? Try using exactly these expressions (replacing X/Y("Object") with the X/Y coordinate in-frame):

Mouse Object -- Set Mouse X Position to: XMouse - MouseX("Mouse Object") + X("Object")

Mouse Object -- Set Mouse Y Position to: YMouse - MouseY("Mouse Object") + Y("Object")

Ah, I hadn't read the entire post. If you want bounding, I would recommend using my Power System Object. It has the same mouse features but can also confine the mouse pointer within a zone.

I wish I could use that, but my mouse boundary is a quarter-circle shape, so I think I'll have to hack something together, unless you know of an easy way to create a circular bounding area.

using polar coordinates would be a good way to do it. Check the distance of the mouse against the center of the circle, and if its larger, find the angle to the center of the cirle, and set it to the maximum distance from the circle * the cosine/sin of that angle

Okay, I'll spend some time trying to figure that out myself, but I may be back to ask for help. Thanks.
