Can someone help me with some hypertalk scripting. I have written a stack to measure how long it takes a user (well a child) to press the mouse button when they see an object move on the screen. I am happy with my stack but I cannot see anyway of stopping the object from moving after the mouse button is clicked. My stack does the following: 1 records the ticks 2 pick up the object 3 drag the object from the top to the bottom of the screen 4 record the tichs when the mouse is clicked 5 record the difference between the start and end ticks 6 divide by 60 to get the seconds The script is something like this: on mouseUp set the userLevel to 5 hide menubar set cursor to none wait 5 seconds set cursor to non choose select tool set cursor to none doMenu "Select" set cursor to none set dragSpeed to 500 put the ticks into tstart set cursor to none repeat until the mouseclick set cursor to none drag from 315,33 to 315,400 end repeat put ticks into tend put (tend-tstart)/60 choose select tool doMenu "Revert" choose browse tool end mouseUp Any ideas? Or can anyone point me to another stack?
