Mouse Control/Cursor Hi-jacking.
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.
Why I hear you cry?
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.
Any ideas?
; max pupdate [x coord] [y coord]
in a message box.
wheee!

Its working... Realized I disabled my mouse and had to force quit! haha stupid me!
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!
use $1 and $2 to use variable values in a message... (then send a list with
x and y to the message)
