Hi, im having a hard time executing a seemingly simple script. No doubt this is due to my inexperience, but I could really use some pointers. i think i can get this to work if someone could point out some code to me that would accomplish this one thing:

When i scroll the mousewheel in a certain window of a certain program, i want the cursor to move slowly when i scroll slowly and fast when i scroll fast in a given direction.

ultimately what i want to do is have the mouse wheel simulate click&drag movements either horizontally or vertically, but the dragging portion should follow how much or little i scroll.

If anyone can help me achieve this, i will be able to happily get back to making music instead of fiddling with code i dont entirely grasp. thanks so much!

one other aspect im rather confused about is the interaction of loops and timers. specifically, how can i set things up so that when i scroll it will first click down somewhere and then the rest of the time im scrolling only the cursor position is affected. so i guess i need a timer to detect when my scrollwheel becomes idle but then i need looping to happen and i dont want the clicking to be part of it. im just so confused and this seems so simple....

This will do a 1-pixel click-drag on every WheelUp done in a new notepad window without releasing the left button between scrolls less than 1/2 a second apart. The left mouse button is released 1/2 second after the last scroll.

thanks for the help, i get the timer function better now, but i wasnt getting the results i wanted with this script. ive got something fairly close now, but now all i think i need is a way to apply some acceleration to the mousewheel so that i can move it a little more predictably with the mousewheel. right now its way too slow to be useful.

maybe i can figure it out if someone can point out how to determine how many mousewheel clicks have taken place in the last half second, maybe with a little toolbar or something? then i can just have a fast and a slow movement based on that. thats about all i need...
