Very good! Works like a charm!

The only glitch is that when I keep the mouse down and move it outside the
window, release, and come back into the rectangle, the button moves with the
mouse again.

The solution is quite easy: put the following in the stack script:

on mouseLeave
  send "mouseRelease" to button "myButton"
end mouseLeave

Wow! What an example of teamwork: we have a perfect solution in like 5 hours
or so! Great list, great people!
