Here's what worked for me (put this in the card script):
global gDragging
on mouseDown
if word 1 of the name of the target is "button" then
put true into gDragging
else
pass mouseDown
end if
end mouseDown
on mouseMove
if gDragging and the mouse is up then
send "GetTarget" to me in 20 milliseconds
put false into gDragging
end if
pass mouseMove
end mouseMove
on GetTarget
try
put the short name of the mouseControl -- or anything else you
want to do with it
catch tError
-- it would get here if you released over the card itself
end try
end GetTarget
Hope this works for you...
