extended mousestate on max/msp/jitter
hi,
i'm trying to create a pressure-sensitive patch with max/msp/jitter and hacked a mouse to bypass using a basic stamp to connect pressure pads to my computer. is there a way to extend the mousestate button so that it serves as a momentary switch rather than an on/off signal? in other words, i'd like the patch to recognize when i am standing on the pressure pad but stop as soon as i am off.
cheers,
billy tran

I may be misunderstanding the question, but the mousestate object already sends a 1 while the button is down, and a 0 when the button is released.

but i've only managed to interface the mousestate button in such a way that it just registers single click events... is there a way to make the patch recognize the mouse button being held down as one distinct timed event? does that make sense? so basically as long as i hold down the mouse button X occurs and as soon as i let go of the mouse, X stops.
