[comp.sys.mac.hypercard] Moving the cursor in the vertical direction only

griggs@uhccux.uhcc.Hawaii.Edu (Kenneth Griggs) (11/11/90)

I'm having a problem with cursor addressability in Hypercard
1.2.5. I'd like to confine cursor movement to only the 
vertical dimension. I have attempted a work-around by setting
the cursor to none and using the mouseV to move a button. However, 
this is not optimal since other system events that occur cause 
the watch and other cursors to appear mysteriously (at least from
the users viewpoint) at points where the cursor has been hidden in the
horizontal dimension. In short, I'd like to something like '
put 300,300 into the mouseLoc' or maybe 'set the mouseLoc to 
300,300' but none of these statements are,of course, legal.
Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks
