I am having problems with the command "mouse_force" which constantly gives an intermitent value of 0 although the mouse is moving and I need to resolve this for my network code.

example problem:
*****************************************************************************
var dat;
PANEL* inf=
{ digits(10, 10,"Dat: %f","Arial#25b",1, dat); flags = VISIBLE; }

function main()
{
video_switch(6,32,2);
//mouse_calm = 0; mouse_time = 16; mouse_moving
while(1)
{
if (mouse_force.x>0){dat=1;}
if (mouse_force.x<0){dat=2;}
if (mouse_force.x==0){dat=0;}
wait(1);
}
}
