Hi,

I have a simple programme but the mouse keys are remmbered and I guess store multiple mouse presses..

button7=11
if mousex()>=u+600 and mousex()<=u+700 and mousey()>=v and mousey()<=v+26
button7=21
endif
paste image button7,600,705

if mousex()>=u+600 and mousex()<=u+700 and mousey()>=v and mousey()<=v+26
ink rgb(500,500,500),1
if mouseclick()=1
d=1
text 200,500,"Next Session"
Session=3
Gosub NextSession
endif
else
endif



Any ideas how to clear the mouse buffer after it selects an option ?

I don't know of any mouse buffer. If you want to avoid the user double-clicking something, just use a variable to control it. Assuming you set letgo = 0 initially:


Your code would be easier to read and debug if you indent it.

errr... how many buttons does you mouse have?!
the mouse returns the stat of each button as a single integer: lmb has a value of 1, rmb has a value of 2 and cmb (wheel button) has a value of 4.
These values are added together to give the mouseclick().
so just pressing lmb returns 1, pressing lmb and cmb returns 5, etc.

crap! just realised you weren't asking that.

to stop db registering multiple clicks you need a variable that cancels out the mouseclick() after the first click.
I think this is known as a flip-flop switch in electronics.


that is so annoying.
i really should buy a keyboard
