Drag n Drop Objects in Flash vs. Rev

[Roman Opendak]

what if instead of mouseup you use a loop in mousedown with the same ideas
applied. like,

on mousedown
    repeat while the mouse is down
    set the loc of me (the target) to the mouseloc
    end repeat
    drop
end mousedown

now that i think about it, its only twenty ticks or so. cause instead of
waiting for the messages to go through and waisting time on a function, you
avoid stepping into it.

i usually do it with icons and drag around a tooltip too
