Pop up window at mouse pointer

[Alan_AEDScripts]

Hi there,  I am totally new to events, never really needed them so excuse my lack of knowledge on this. I am trying to pop up a window at the mouse pointer.

The solution I have is clunky. So I pop up a window, maybe maximum size - make it's opacity zero, so the user can't see it. Then I set up a 'mousemove' listener

on this large invisible window which triggers the next window to appear at the right position.

So I have to move the mouse to pop up the window, I would rather a keyboard event to pop the window up, but there is no screenX, screenY property in the keyboard event object.

Any pointers appreciated...  am I totally up the wrong path....?

Many thanks.

Alan.

var w = new Window ("dialog");

             w.preferredSize=[700,700];

             w.addEventListener ("mousemove", function (m) {eventHandler(m)});

                                        function eventHandler (ev){

                                                  //b.text =  ("X: " + ev.screenX+"Y: " + ev.screenY);

                                                  var w2= new Window ("dialog");

                      w2.location = [ev.screenX,ev.screenY];

                      w2.show();

                      w.close();

                                        }

                              w.show ();

I just noticed my unintentional pun 'Any POINTERS appreciated'.  Excellent.

Actually this is working perfectly, I just had to kill the eventListener once it was triggered once.
