Hi All 😃

A new day, a new question!

Not having a right mouse button for my application is pretty annoying and i believe with Macs there is no middle button?

Well i already use the left mouse click and i dont to make the keyboard optional.

Consider the application is a simple line drawing one. It draws a line between each click of the mouse. Well i want to be able to cancel that line drawing and i think what i would like to do is shake the mouse left to right (Almost like black and white when you drop the beasts leash).

I was wondering if anyone knew of any projects using mouse gestures in AS3? Or perhaps a port-able Java one?

If not, does anyone have any ideas on how to check if the mouse has been “shaked” from left to right? Any approach is worth a try.

Cheers,
