mouse x and y, odd behaviour
Mar 22nd, 2008, 7:19am  
If I click and drag the cursor beyond the window boundary, mouseX and mouseY are able to be negative or greater than the window size.

But I need to know the mouseX and mouseY even if the mouse is not pressed and the cursor is outside the window. Is there anything not mentioned in the reference I can use?

I've tried reading
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/api/java/awt/event/MouseEvent.html#getX()
but I don't know how to implemend it into my code, putting mouseEventMethods.getX() returns an error "Semantic Error: No accessible method with signature "getX()" was found in type "processing.core.PApplet$RegisteredMethods"."
