I have a problem with this short piece of code in DBpro that works in classic they way I want, but not at all the way I want in DBpro...

The code is just suppose to grab an image from a bitmap relating to where my mouse is and where I drag the mouse.

In Classic a box will appear while I hold the mouse...perfect
Dbpro is different however...any insight would be great.

In Classic, Mousex() and Mousey() retain their values.

In Pro, they reset to zero as soon as you read them after each SYNC. So you need to put them into a variable, and use that instead.

I don't think they do? Maybe you're refering to Mousemovex() and Mousemovey()?

I've managed to sort my problem out.
I ran some tests with mousex() and mousey(). They do retain their values.

my problem lied elsewhere...I think it was the fact that DBPro needs to be in bitmap 0 to draw sprites to screen. I also had some issue with the sizing of the sprite which I managed to resolve.

I will post the code if you're curious as to how I fixed it.
