Returns the horizontal position of the mouse pointer.
Built-in Function handler[]
Syntax:
mouseH()
Examples:
the mouseH
add the mouseH to totalWidth
Use the mouseH function to find out where the mouse pointer is.
The returned value is the horizontal distance in pixels from the left edge of the current stack to the location of the mouse pointer. (Use the defaultStack property to identify the current stack.)
If the mouseH is positive, the pointer is to the right of the leftmost edge of the stack window. If the number is negative, the pointer is to the left of the stack window.
This function is equal to item 1 of the mouseLoc function.
When in a mouseDown handler, you can use the clickH function to get the position of the mouse as it was when the mouseDown actiion occurred.
- Tip:* The mouseMove message sends the mouse's horizontal position
as a parameter. This means that in a mouseMove handler, normally it's not necessary to use the mouseH function.
