Glen,

You might try something like this. Put the following into the scripts 
of each of the graphic squares:

local myName

on mousedown
   put the name of me into myName
end mousedown

on mouseUp
   put "" into myName
end mouseUp

on mouseRelease
   put "" into myName
end mouseRelease

on mouseMove x,y
   if myName is  "" then exit mouseMove
   set the loc of me to x,y
   put the points of grc "theLine" into tPoints
   put x,y into line 1 of tPoints --Where 1 is for this square; use 2 
for the other
   set the points of grc "theLine" to tPoints
end mouseMove

Where the line graphic is named "theLine"
