Thanks, Mark, that is a solution that would work very well.
In my solution to the problem I just "parked" the images off-screen once

I would think there could be use cases where that would be useful (hidden

I assumed that they left this undocumented feature (bug?) in because the

I'm not sure why the explanation would be difficult. Existence is different
from appearance. Intersect looks for existence at a particular location,
visibility is how the object looks.
Substitute "blue" for "visible" and it's the same thing.

A standard on mobile for this sort of thing seems to be a simulated d-pad
type control. Though using the accelerometers isn't difficult and could
make it a real challenge when trying not to touch walls. (perhaps change

At this stage in the development of High Sierra I guess it is hard to tell
whether or not difficulties in using LC or apps created with LC is caused by
bugs in the OS or incompatibilities in LC. I think their policy is to address
any incompatibilities in LC once the OS is out of beta.
