[comp.sys.mac.hypercard] Timers and Mouse Actions in Supercard

hallett@pet16.positron.gemed.ge.com (Jeff Hallett x5163 ) (02/16/90)

Hi folks!

I apologize if some of you see this again, but I never saw it posted,
so I don't know if it really made it or not.

Basically, I need to know two things about Supercard:

1.  Is there a way to set up a background timer that sends a message
to a specific object whens it expires?

2.  Is there a way to read the mouse motion in real time and, also,
constrain the mouse motion to horizontal lines (ie. remove delta x or
delta y)?

I didn't see anything like these in the manual and would appreciate
any help you could give.

Thanks
