location of open drawer

[Eric Chatonet]

Scott,

Your problem comes from the fact that decorations are set to empty.
When decorations are set to empty some features like resizing are  
disabled.
Obviously this one too :-(
So you have to script it.

Something like:

local lAllowDrag, lDif
---------------------------------
on mouseDown
   put the mouseH & comma & the mouseV into lAllowDrag
   put item 1 of the loc of this stack  - item 1 of the loc of stack  
"Drawer" & comma & item 2 of the loc of this stack  - item 2 of the  
loc of stack "Drawer"  into lDif
end mouseDown
---------------------------------
on mouseMove x,y
   if lAllowDrag is empty then exit mouseMove
   set topLeft of this stack to globalLoc(x - item 1 of lAllowDrag &  
comma & y - item 2 of lAllowDrag)
   set the loc of stack "Drawer" to item 1 of the loc of this stack +  
item 1 of lDif, item 2 of the loc of this stack + item 2 of lDif
end mouseMove
---------------------------------
on mouseUp
   put empty into lAllowDrag
   unlock cursor
end mouseUp
---------------------------------
on mouseRelease
   mouseUp --
end mouseRelease
