I'm trying to find the best way to make the mouse move to the center of a particular active object on start of frame.
My frame size is 640x480 and the full screen resolution is 1024x768, because I don't want to have to set players' screens to a resolution of 640x480... if their computer even can :\ The object (that the mouse cursor should go to the center of) is placed at different places in each frame so a formula of some sort would be best...
I've tried the mouse object etc. but it doesn't let you set the position in comparison to the objects' location... I'm sure there's an easy calculation to solve this but my mind has just gone blank!! I think I need sleep 
Anyway, any ideas? Thanks guys

You can use the Window Control object to get the X and Y position of the game window, and then just add the object's X or Y position to that:
(Event)
- Mouse object: Set actual mouse X to (Window X position( "Window Control" ) + X( "Active" ))
- Mouse object: Set actual mouse Y to (Window Y position( "Window Control" ) + Y( "Active" ))

It should be noted that when using Axel's method, you'll also have to remove the window border of your game, because Window X position( "Window Control" ) is the X position of the window, not your the X of the game screen. If your game is in full screen, it won't be much of a problem then.

There is no need for the window control object...
MouseX( "Mouse object" ) - XMouse will retrieve the X coordinate of the Client Area.

XMouse is just the position of the mouse though, not where an object's center is in its distance from the game window edge, which was basically what I wanted. It's sorted now anyways
