So I made this ridiculous game ( spacecreamcone.com ) completely through Hype for fun. In the game, you have to grab onto the cone (static element) and move it around to make sure the “space cream” (dynamic element) doesn’t drop below the screen line and fall for eternity. I was thinking it would be …

Have a look at this [image] A Flashlight (mouse follower) Template Gallery I did this a long time ago in Hype 1.XX. It’s a flashlight emulator using a mouse following javascript to control the flashlight. flashlite.hype.zip (12.5 KB)

I took a slightly different approach than Mark using jQuery & CSS: FollowMe.hype.zip (14.1 KB) Example here . “MouseOver” the graphic to have it follow. Click to disengage. Below is the core code. The variables: “liveArea, graphicFollow_X, graphicFollow_Y” are created in another function called by …

I have a question regarding this topic. I have two images stacked on top of each other. The idea is to reveal the image below by masking the top image. I’ve managed to control the mask by clicking and dragging the mouse, but what I actually want is to have the mask move when I mouse over. Essentiall…

The next version of Hype should come with a drag and drop Behaviors Library…

A rough idea… pointer_follow.hype 2.zip (408.1 KB)

Just an addition to @MarkHunte 's example to add a mouseover action with the same code (with some additions) A few changes should be made in my opinion.
