alice-teacher FYI Alice 3.0

[Don Slater]

Mike,
In the events editor there is the event "Let the mouse move objects" which allows the mouse to control an object in the project. See attached screen shot...

Is this what you are looking for?

Let m know if you have any other questions…

All the best,
Don Slater
