So reading inside the loop doesn't give you the state

I found that reading INSIDE of the loop can miss events. In fact, no clicks are read inside of them if you read them after the loop!



DO
DO WHILE _MOUSEINPUT
loop& = loop& + 1
IF _MOUSEBUTTON(1) THEN PRINT "Read"; loop&; 'never reads
LOOP
IF _MOUSEBUTTON(1) THEN 'current button state
PRINT "DOWN"; loop&;
ELSE PRINT " UP "; loop&;
END IF
Readmouse
LOOP

SUB Readmouse
STATIC loops&
DO WHILE _MOUSEINPUT
IF _MOUSEBUTTON(1) THEN PRINT "down1"; loops& ELSE PRINT "up1"; loops& 'never reads
loops& = loops& + 1
LOOP
IF _MOUSEBUTTON(1) THEN PRINT "down2"; loops& ELSE PRINT "up2"; loops& 'current state
END SUB

There is STILL the possibility that something is missed. This is indicated when a loop count doesn't change.

COMMENT out the reads AFTER the loops and see what happens when reading INSIDE of the loop ONLY... WOW!
