Greetings! I need to do something and I don’t know if it’s possible… in a proper way. Situation: 1 - I have an FULLSCREEN application that extends to two monitors in a Windows system. 2 - The graphic card is extending the single desktop to the two monitors, so the fullscreen fits everything correctly. 3 - Only one monitor is interactivity-enabled, with an interactive touch-sensitive foil on it, which works great. 4 - The second monitor is interactivity-disabled, it just displays stuff depending on what happens on the first monitor. The Problem: The interactive foil on the interactivity-enabled monitor responds as if it is the _whole monitor_. But it only covers one monitor!! The _whole monitor_, are the two screens put together. I obviously can’t cut the interactive foil in 2, and then stretch the two parts to fill a monitor each… So if one touches beyond 50% of the foil’s width, the touch event will actually occur in the second monitor! A fact for the solution is - if all Mouse Events occur with mouseX divided by 2, everything will work fine! * * * So the question is - how to make all Mouse Events’s mouseX be divided by 2 ? Is there a way to do that in the core of the actionscript MouseEvents handling? thanks in advance for any ideas ! :tini:
