Since you're using a repeat until.. You can do repeat until (your first requirement) or not myflag where on mouseenter you set myflag to true on mouseleave you set it to false. As a quick example (not using a flag, but even so you get the idea...) repeat until the thumbpos of me >= the endvalue

Richard, Thanks for your reply (and thanks Mike for the tmControls recommendation). I'm aware that we can make our own controls; and can use some native ones. But surely the point of LiveCode being cross platform is that we shouldn't need to? A checkbox on each desktop platform takes on som

Agreed. The send moveFigure to me in the moveFigure handler could be removed if you only want the figure to move once each time the mouse enters the object. I handed my students a stack with a similar script where a button would jump to a new loc each time the tried to press it. (The loc was ran

The variables needs to be global rather than local if the scripts are to be placed in both the card script and the script of the figure that should be moved. The first line of the card script and the first line of the script in the object should then read: global sMoveLine,sMoveSteps,sMove To

Maybe this is a good time to introduce the event style of programming. Focus on 'move...without waiting', and 'moveStopped' and maybe 'send'. Well, if the details allow that. If using moveStopped makes things jerky, then you might need to do something else. However, I think my grandson mad
