Forums » Help » Checking if mouse is outside screen.

Hi,

input.mouse.x and input.mouse.y returns mouse position within a gameplay area,
however if I move mouse outside the gameplay area it still contains the last x, y values, which makes my scrolling on the edges difficult to use.

All I need to know if the mouse cursor is (for sure) over the gameplay area at the given moment.

I suppose I could use some sort of jquery hack, but maybe there is a better way to do it?

Thanks for any help.

It looks like it will be difficult to do as the mousemove is assigned to canvas element, and hasn't go any knowledge about "outside world"

I think I will endup extending input.js and adding listener for the mouseout event
