It works! Finally... I have spent days trying to figure out what was wrong
with my script.
After I removed the script I used and replaced it with yours, I did receive
this message:

I did just that. Thanks for highlighting it.
I know the way to learn is by doing it and after a very kind and helpful
person gave me the on getPropertyDescriptionList handler for moving sprites,
which I had difficulty understanding then, I was determined to write my own,
albeit with so many mistakes. Sorry!
It was tough going but you make it look so easy.
Let me try to understand what I have learnt:
a getPropertyDescriptionList is written in this way:
1. I first specify the properties I wish to change:
in this case it was the position of the marker - property pMarker.
I can specify as many properties I wish to change here, I just make sure I
call for it in the event handlers like on mouseUp, on enterSprite, later
within this script?
2. then I create the on getPropertyDescriptionList
specifying under what condition the behavior should work.
3. then I return the property
with the #comment,#format and #default.
Is this the correct format to write the handler?

yes, my answers are different. By using the on getPropertyDescriptionList on
different sprites, the relative positions of the markers and its' names will
correspondingly change.
Thank you. I appreciate your help. I understand it better now.
