I want to trigger an event when releasing the right mouse button.

I have looked at the RegisterEventHandler in OpusScript help but cannot fathom how to do it.

Has anyone any ideas
I achieved what I wanted using the keypress - keyrelease actions
but I need to transfer that to the Right mouse up

Regards

Hi Peter,

Have a look in the Script HELP at: IsMousePressed()
I hope it should be able to do what you want.

Here's an example using RegisterEventHandler to work the right mouse button.

cheers

The standard Mouse Click triggers fire on release - the Mouse Down triggers fire on the press. You can just add a Right Mouse Click trigger and use that.

Duncan,

Many thanks - however I needed both the right mouse down and the right mouse up to perform the function - having just re-read your thread - I think you are implying that is exactly what the two events do?

However, Paul's RegisterEventHandler works perfectly - so I will go with that - many thanks Paul as ever.

Regards

Pete

Hi,

Not trying to improve on Paul's excellent example, but just showing how versatile Opus is. I've added a couple of extra options to achieve the same result. I hope my script is correct.

Paul's solution is obviously the best of course, but it was an exercise (excuse) for me to try anyway.

This is excellent also.

For the project that I am working on it is important that I can use the right mouse down and right mouse release for two seperate actions so the examples you gave are great - particularly using the "is moused pressed"
I found the register event handler example hard to understand as I thought that I had to use all the code supplied in the help file
e.g.

var myEvent = image1.RegisterEventHandler("lclick", this.Move)

function Move(property)
{
var newXpos = property.x
var newYPos = property.y
Text.SetPosition(property.x,property.y,2.784)
}

When I tried this - I got nothing....

I didnt realise that I could simply use the method Paul wrote
i.e.

RegisterEventHandler("rmousedown", RMDown);

RegisterEventHandler("rmouseup", RMUp);


function RMDown()
{
b1.SetScale(1.5,1.5)
}


function RMUp()
{
b1.SetScale(1,1)
}

And actually - the right mouse down, right mouse click solution is the easiest of the lot

So thanks one and all

Pete
