[SDL] confused by SDL_KEYDOWN event!!!

[Jonathan Dearborn]

Hey,
 
My suggestion would be to use SDL_PollEvent() in a while loop so that you catch and handle every event that hops on the queue.  You're probably ignoring all events but one each frame.
 
void Tank::HandleInput( SDL_Event &event,bool &run){
 while(SDL_PollEvent(&event))
  {
        ...
  }
 
}

here is my code:
 void Tank::HandleInput( SDL_Event &event,bool &run){
 SDL_PollEvent(&event);
 
...
}
 
 
problem is that when i keep pressing a key such as "a", the tank in my game keeps moving left,but if i move the mouse during the tank's moving,the tank stops moving.
In the doc it seems that there are  some differences between  SDL_KEYDOWN  and SDL_MouseMotionEvent,but in my application ,it seems there no differences between them!
 
what's the difference between these two event type? it seems a little confused.
PS: My OS is Windows xp,SDL version is 1.2.12,IDE is VS 2005 PRO.
