OK, I accepted your dare and was surprised to see that it worked (didn't

Works in LC/RR 3.5.0

Works in LC/RR 2.2.1

So I don't know where you got the idea that this used not to work:
perhaps you never tried it as it never occurred to you.

Though you're still left with the limitations of working within a single
stack, and no dragging in or out.
But if the technique works for you, awesome.

Speaking as someone who has rolled custom drag-and-drop code (execute in
your message box):
go url "http://www.tactilemedia.com/site_files/downloads/TMdragndrop.rev";


...I'll suggest from experience that at some point it will benefit you to
get a handle on the built-in routines.

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.

Richmond.

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.
