Relative scale/translation mouse
May 27th, 2006, 11:56pm  
I had a search for "relative scale mouse" on these boards and didn't find anything useful...

What I want is the relative x/y position of the mouse after a using P5's scale() and translate() methods.

I'm suprised it hasn't been implemented yet. Its very useful. If you compare against Flash, Flash has a _xmouse and _ymouse properties for every movieclip, calculated relative to that movieclip.

In MyGUI library, I keep track of the mouse position by passing the relative scale/translated positions to the next object in a group.

Now, processing doesn't work with movieclips like Flash does. But, after scaling/translating the scene, I think there should be some easy accessor method for getting the xmouse and ymouse positions relative to objects drawn on the screen.

e.g. screenMouseX, screenMouseY

Thoughts any one?
