Is is possible for an image to smoothly "stick" onto the cursor? I am working on a jigsaw puzzle for children. I know that I can set the image to the mouse location, but it is very choppy and and the image will drop if the user accelerates mouse speed and it can't leep up.


I imagine you're using mousewithin, or something like that? You can do all the dragging control in the card script. I probably haven't done this in the most advanced way, but it works, this will make anything you drag follow the mouse:

on idle
   global dragging,dx,dy,dragwhat
   if dragging then
      set the loc of dragwhat to the mouseh - dx,the mousev - dy
   end if
end idle

on mouseDown
   global dragging,dx,dy,dragwhat
   put true into dragging
   put the target into dragwhat
   put the clickh - item 1 of the loc of the target into dx
   put the clickv - item 2 of the loc of the target into dy
end mouseDown

on mouseUp
   global dragging
   put false into dragging
end mouseUp

Of course, you might check to see what is being clicked on to limit it to jigsaw pieces, maybe by checking the name.
