I'm running into a problem w/ a kiosk and I'm not sure what the best solution would be. Here's the problem... We're using a touchscreen lcd with an application to navigate the application. The application is also used on the web. When somebody touches a button on the touchscreen, it moves the cursor to that position and it stays there. Following that, the cursor is still there until they touch the screen again. Here lies my issue. Sometimes the cursor is covering something to make the "onRollOver" action active.

My first guess would be to reset the cursor after each onRelease action to a specific location. However, I'm not even sure if that's possible. Anybody have an idea?

What about to 'disable/hide' the mouse pointer AKA cursor?
If the user points to the same area where the pointer will disappear, who cares.
If pointing to another area it shouldn't have an impact on the previous one, right?

I am hiding the mouse pointer and I guess that's why I didn't realize I'd have this problem. Even though it's hidden, it's still there. It just thinks the cursor is in the last place you touched the screen until you touch it again.

So you've to check for a single vs. double click event, right?

why not use set timer and just move the mouse to the corner of the screen every 100ms or something?

I didn't see these at first glance, but MouseMove and MouseDelay seem to be what I'm looking for. Still reading, but hopefully there won't be a problem. Thanks.
