that may be what I need... the flushmouse(), because I am storing the players x,y,z coords before calling player shoot, and storing the mouse coords also, and restoring it to width/2 height/2 etc.. but every now and then, it's like intermittant, it will not return player to correct location, but the player will get stuck on the side of one of the fruit items.. may be more than one mouse click or something is getting sent or something like that.. It may also be the machine is so slow that upon returning from the function the player moves the mouse, which distorts the coords just enough so that it goes where it's not supposed to.. I will try it on a faster machine, and try it with debug off also to speed it up to full speed and see if I get the wierd bug anymore. But it only happens maybe like 3rd fruit hit, or might go whole level without happening.. can't figure it out.
