Hi Simon:
 
Welcome back. I've been 'awal' also for about 2 years myself, and yes the MC IDE is well supported (I'm still on 2.51 so cannot apply metal effect but renewing to an Enterprise licence allowed me to upgrade from 2.4 without a problem).
 
As far as limiting objects within a group goes, I did this by trapping mouseMove and setting the object loc to the mouseLoc only if the object top> grp top, bottom< grp bottom, left>grp left and right< grp right.
