Scott,

why do you need the mouseRelease handler? Just wondering.

Here's another (simpler?) option that seems to work for me:

on mouseDown
  set the uAllowDrag of me to true
end mouseDown

on mouseMove
  if not the uAllowDrag of me then exit mouseMove
  set the loc of me to \
      min(max(the mouseH,left of img myImg + (width of me/2)),\
      right of img myImg - (width of me/2)),\
      min(max(the mouseV,top of img myImg + (height of me/2)),\
      bottom of img myImg - (height of me/2))
end mouseMove

on mouseUp
  set the uAllowDrag of me to false
end mouseUp

on mouseRelease
  mouseUp
end mouseRelease



Regards,

Scott
