PlayerPlayer.setMouseDelay
Syntax
Player.setMouseDelay(delay)
Parameters
delay is an integer.
Action
Sets the delay within or between individual mouse actions.
Returns
True.
Examples
Player.setMouseDelay(5) « a small delay usually suffices
Player.setMouseDelay(0) « maximum speed
Player.setMouseDelay(20) « for dragging on a slow machine
Player.setMouseDelay(Player.defaultMouseDelay) « reset
Notes
- By default, Player includes a small delay (2) to ensure that applications "notice" Player's mouse operations.
- If an application doesn't recognize Player's click or drag, setting a higher delay will usually fix the problem.
- Setting a mouse delay will not pause a script; see the yieldTime verb.
- This setting affects all verbs that use the mouse, including clicking on a named button and even an invisible click in the menubar used for the menu verbs. It remains in effect until changed or until a reboot.
- Scripters with slower machines may want to modify defaultMouseDelay and use it to reset back to a normal speed that works for them.
- There is no way to alter the default (other than to execute this verb when Frontier starts up).
- The delay units are approximately "ticks" (60ths of a second), though the value is not intended to be exact.
