Systems, Milwaukee, WI, USA Lines: 26 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 -- Jeffrey A.
