Thought folks might find the following useful...
I currently have a situation where I need to detect multiple clicks on an
object and differentiate between the number of click sets (i.e.
single-click, double-click, triple-click, etc). The following seems to
work well, detecting a 50-click event, after which point I got tired of
clicking :-)
-----
constant theClickThreshold = 300
local theClickCount, theClickID
on mouseDown
if lineOffset("countClicks",pendingMessages()) = 0 then
put 0 into theClickCount
else cancel theClickID
add 1 to theClickCount
send "countClicks" to me in theClickThreshold millisecs
put the result into theClickID
end mouseDown
command countClicks
put theClickCount && millisecs() -- SHOW CLICK COUNT
put 0 into theClickCount -- RESET
end countClicks
-----
The click threshold can be adjusted but seems to work well at 300
milliseconds. Change "on mouseDown" to "before mouseDown" to implement as
a behavior.
