"grabbing a tool"

I think I understand setting the cursor to an image but the Rev docs
indicate I need to have an image that's 16x16 pixels in order to
maintain Mac & PC compatibility. What I'd like to do is have a mouseUp
on an image "lock" that image to the position of the cursor (something
on the order of picking up a weapon in a FPS; the weapon is usually a
hundred pixels large or even more). Then, when the user does another
mouseUp (and does it within a certain distance of a "target point"), I
can "release" the image and return it to it's origin.
Near as I can tell, the pseudocode for the movement tracking would be
something like:
on moveMe
set the loc of image "theTool" to the loc of the cursor
send moveMe to image "theTool"
end moveMe
Am I moving down the correct path?
Thanks,
Barry
