Yes, see "screenmouseloc" in the docs...

try this:

...
put the loc of btn x of cd z of stack "Main" into fromhere
put the loc of btn y of cd z of stack "Sub" into tohere

#Convert to global locs:
put globalloc(fromhere) into Gfromhere
put globalloc(tohere) into Gtohere

#Simply MOVE the stack :-)
move stack "Hand" from Gfromhere to Gtohere in 1 secs
#or how fast you like...
...

Too easy, isn't it? ;-)


Hope that helps.
