Digital Workshop

I want a frame to follow the cursor, which I've done several times before on other publications ( I've used mouse move and move frame to cursor), but with my present one I'm working on I have a much larger page-1750 by 1024 (Plexus pub) than the standard 800 by 600.This seems to be causing the frame to lag behind the cursor as it moves progressively further right and down the page, so much so that it is a completely unusable function! Am I missing something or is this a bug?

If this is what you're trying to do, it seems smooth enough here:

Thanks Mack, thats exactly what I'm trying to do. The fact that you've got it to work easily got me investigating more thoroughly. I think I've cracked it. The object following cursor problem seems to happen when you choose 'Page resize' in chapter properties (no selection of limits) and also in publication properties when one chooses to display in a window. Either of these by themselves seems fine but together they cause the problem. I would be grateful if you could try the same and confirm.
I don't think this is a great problem to me because I think I'll just choose to'Display Fullscreen'for this publication unless you can easily see a way round it.

Thanks again,

Nick

Hi Nick,

Just the resize option seems to kill it here. Must be a redraw of the screen issue. If you're happy to use scripting, you can control the update better.



This is an endless loop (true) - you'd need to use a variable in-place of 'true' that toggles the bool value to false to break the loop if you want to control it.

'F1' is the frame following the mouse.

Have play and post back if it doesn't work.

Thanks Mack for your time on this. I'm now happy with my solution on this. I will simply publish as full screen which I think I prefer anyway in this case. You have however been very helpful.

Till next time,

Nick
