Dear Yves,

Thank you for your suggestions:

Yes, indeed. I had a look at his stack, however it only shows how to 
script RECEIVING a dragged image (from the Finder or another 
application) into your stack. It does not have an example of how to 
GENERATE a dragged image object (ie, letting you START the dragging 
INSIDE Revolution, and drag the image to the Finder). I tried looking 
through the documentation about how to do this, but it is very sketchy. 
Even though I've tried scripting it in different ways, I haven't 
managed to to make it work. I just don't know exactly what property of 
the 'image' object I should be putting inside dragData["image"]. 
Everything I've tried, has failed - so there must be a trick somewhere 
that I'm missing...

Altuit's web site is absolutely EXCELLENT - what great design!

Unfortunately, I couldn't find a stack there that has examples of how 
to enable the user to start dragging an image inside the stack, either.

If anyone has managed to generate a dragged image, PLEASE let us know 
about it!!!

Many thanks,
