information is too obscure, those commands work here.
check your code again.

If it works here but not in your game code then there is a problem with the structure of your game code, probably in updating the display.

are you using mousex() and mousey() elsewhere in your game code? so you've used these commands in another location in the code aswell as that peice of code there?
apparently using mousex()/mousey() more than once in a program will cause them to output a value of 0, which isn't good. the way round this is to assign mousex() and mousey() to variables such as mx and my then using these variables instead.

You might have come aone of dbpros really odd bugs.
Make sure you haven't changed the window title and comment out any code that uses anything other than integers, floats and strings. Also deleteing the .pro file and letting the ide make a new one is worth a try.

If it still doesn't work it's just a matter of commenting out code until you find the code that stops the mouse commands from working.

deleted the .dbpro file and made a new one, worked perfectly after that, but why is this so buggy?
