Editable page

Hi,

I have a stack where I want the user to be able to add objects ((e.g.
images, lines, text). I can set the tool to [ ... ]. Think an
"editable page". But my problem then is (let's take an image for
example):

- how do I make it so that the user can add an image to the placeholder
- move the image
- resize it

Same for lines, texts, ... any ui element, really - I am trying to
create a mock-up tool.

My thoughts were be that I:

a) have the user add the object to the the stack
b) dynamically attach handlers to the newly created object that
implement any desired object-specific behavior (i.e. move. (reset
image source, crop, ...)

How do I add the handlers dynamically (I really haven't been able to
find it), and moreover, where do I store these templates in the
overall stack.

I think I haven't wrapped my head around the LiveCode model to do
these more dynamic things, *any* help would be greatly appreciated!!!

Thanks, Maarten
