Hi all, I'm logging the mouse movements in a web app.
I'd like to detect the mouse acceleration on a platform (e.g. Windows). Is it possible to do it from javascript, even just in an approximated way? I could ask the user to check their settings with a questionnaire, but it would be much better to detect it automatically.
Cheers
Check distance the mouse has moved over a set interval of time:
var mX:Number = _xmouse;
var mY:Number = _ymouse;
function checkDistance()
{
clear();
//trace('new distance: ' + Math.sqrt(Math.pow((mY - _ymouse), 2) + Math.pow((mX - _xmouse), 2)));
lineStyle(1, 0x000000);
moveTo(mX, mY);
lineTo(_xmouse, _ymouse);
mX = _xmouse;
mY = _ymouse;
}
setInterval(checkDistance, 1000);
