You should check your scripts and make sure only the items that you want
draggable have the drag script.  Next, you could try setting the lockLoc of
the group to true to prevent it from moving.  Offhand, I don't know why it
would move unless you added a script to it.

You need to add your desired if/then situations to the script, along the
lines of:

if right of btn 1 = right of grc 1 then beep

Check/try the above and let us know what happens.

We've never opened it due to lack of time to develop it. :-)
