We understand that using mouseMove is essential to avoid the polling issue with mouseStillDown, but this raises a question:
Why not just fix mouseStillDown so it doesn't poll?
It could be sent in response to mouseMove instead of being tied to the idleRate as it is now, and I doubt many (any?) scripts in shipping products would notice the difference.
If it seems sensible to simplify those four handlers down to one revised mouseStillDown, consider voting for: <http://support.runrev.com/bugdatabase/show_bug.cgi?id=1832>
There's also a suggestion there for extensing the drag command to incorporate some useful syntax options extablished by SuperCard.

Richard,
Here, here.
This simplification would be especially valuable in education. So much easier for a beginning scripter.
Still a bit more complex than the old HC solution:
"Repeat while the mouse is down"
How does one go about "voting" for a bug/request?
I've found the bug site. What do I do there?
