Hi Paul,
As Richmond says, "That's a clever idea."
However, I have no understanding of what a frontScript is and no
understanding of how to trap those events.
Perhaps you'd be willing to elaborate for me?
Thanks,
Larry

insert a frontScript containing mouseDown and mouseUp handlers to trap
those events when you want to block them and remove the frontScript when
done
That will still allow mouseStillDown and mouseRelease messages to be
passed for drag operations

How about setting the cursor to none and locking the cursor?
Because the chap may still need the cursor for something else (such as
grab).

I have a situation in my program where I'm showing the user some
stuff. I do not want the user to be able to click with the mouse
during this time.
What is the best way to do that?
Actually it would be great if the user couldn't even move the mouse
(within my program) during this time.
TIA

How about this sort of code in your cardScript:
on mouseUp
if fld "NIX" contains 1 then
---do nix
end if
end mouseUp
then have an offscreen fld "NIX" that you put 1 onto when your
slide-show
starts, and you put 'empty' into when it finishes?
of course you could move that script out of the cardScript into all your
buttons on the card
like this:
on mouseUp
if fld "NIX" contains 1 then
---do nix
else
--do whatever you want this button to do
end if
end mouseUp
