You could try playing with the grab commmand or even the mouseMove x,y
handler - testing for the mouse being down. The other thing you may want to
consider is grouping the controls and then you could simply put the
following handler in the group script.
on mouseDown
grab me
end mouseDown

Subject: Re: palette/windows/etc
I have a button with the following script below. On using the mouseDown for
this button, the user can drag this button and its associated buttons and
field anywhere on the screen. Is there a better way to do it?
How can all this be changed to a palette?
