What? you expect me to know my own mind? LOL.

I use that technique as I tend to use a single stack, or a signle stack with associated palettes.

  but with grab,
there's no way to act upon events/messages while grab is active (thus you
can't do cursor updates and provide user feedback), and you can't "grab"
an object across stacks.

Aha; got you.

Why do I have a funny feeling that you could use

mouseStillDown

to get feedback

Ha, ha,ha . . .  I just made a stack containing a button "DRAG ME ABOUT"

and a field "KOUNT"

in the button I have this script:

on mouseDown
   grab me
end mouseDown

on mouseStillDown
   put fld "KOUNT" into KOUNT
   add 1 to KOUNT
   put KOUNT into fld "KOUNT"
   wait 3 ticks
end mouseStillDown

on mouseUp
   put empty into fld "KOUNT"
end mouseUp

Try it, I dare you . . . you get feedback.

Why do I always just use

on mouseDown
     grab me
end mouseDown

then set up a load of images as dropTargets and have stuff like this in
the grabbedObject:

on mouseUp
     if not within (img "target", the mouseloc) then
        set the loc of me to 857,673
     end if
end mouseUp

must be missing something.
