To grab or not to grab

[Geoff Canyon]

You'd be better off doing something like:

local tDragging -- are we currently dragging?

on mouseDown
   -- check the target here to see if it's what you want
   put true into tDragging
end mouseDown

on mouseMove
   if not tDragging then exit mouseMove
   --move the objects here
end mouseMove

on mouseUp
   put false into tDragging
end mouseUp

on mouseRelease
   put false into tDragging
end mouseRelease
