You'll need to check out the globalLoc function. If you just set the loc of stack xxx to the loc of image yyy then it will be set relative to the top left of the screen instead of the top left of the main stack window.
Something like this:


on moveStack
  set the loc of stack "Sub" to globalLoc(the loc of image 1)
end moveStack

will work, but it doesn't move as you move the stack, it moves in a jump when you have finished. To get around this, you may have to remove the title bar from your main stack and write a custom move handler that records the mouseDown, follows the mouseMove and then stops moving on mouseUp.

I wrote an article in revJournal in December that analyzed Klaus Major's Xmas tree stack. It uses this technique for moving the stack around, so you might find it worth your while to check it out:

It seems that this should be fairly easy ...I am trying to set a small sized stack at the location of an image of another stack that is much larger. I want the smaller stack to act as if it was an object of the larger stack (maintaining its position if the larger stack is moved, always on top of the larger stack etc).

Is there a "proper" way to approach this?

thanks,

Glen
