three problems when manipulating graphics

Phillipe,

They shouldn't... are you sure you're checking the card and not the stack?
If the stack window is at 3,25 and you ask for the rect of the stack, you'll
get "3,25,603,425" for a 600x400 window, but if you ask for the rect of the
card, you'll get "0,0,600,400".

Note also that the mouseLoc is in relation to the card rect, so if the mouse
is in the upper-left corner of the card and you ask for the mouseLoc, you'll
get "0,0".

Not sure about this, but it might be relative to the card/stack locations
mentioned in #1 above.

This may be the Rev UI getting in the way. Did you do a "Suspend Revolution
UI" before you did this? If not, you might want to try again with that
turned on (or set the lockMessages to true in your mouseUp handler).

Hope this helps,
