The idea is to round off the coordinates to the nearest multiple of 
your grid points. If you put this in a button script, the button will 
only move to points at coordinates that are multiples of 8.

on mouseDown
   repeat while the mouse is down -- (this is just for testing 
something!)
     show me at 8*(mouseH() div 8 ), 8*(mouseV() div 8)
   end repeat
end mouseDown

HTH, sorry if this isn't what you meant.
