This should work for just about any object (button, image, graphic, etc.).
Make sure that the object is in the uppermost layer; if anything else is
sitting on top of it, the mouseDown message won't get through.

If you want the user to be able to drag the object, try:
on mouseStillDown
  set the loc of me to the mouseLoc
end mouseStillDown

or, for a smoother drag:
on mouseDown
  grab me
end mouseDown

Hope this helps,
