I was wondering if it is possible to take over or 'hi-jack' a mouse or trackpad's actions. I am to use OSC or Midi, sending it into Max and then it moving my cursor.

I have my iSight camera with a infrared filter on it and using software called isadora I can get X - Y data, I want to be able to move my mouse with the IR receiver.... its just a little project Ive wanted to try for a while.

How can I send a variable value into a message box though? Currently I am just typing values in... so i'm half way there.

No idea about the mouse click.. i'm a novice!
