I'm not sure if the problem you're having is that the objects are not moving
simultaneously or something else.  However, the lock moves is usually for
starting objects off at the same time.

Instead, try removing the lock/unlockmoves lines and try adding "without
waiting" to each move line in your script, for example:

  move image "BStone1.gif" to 588,-72 in 2 secs without waiting

See if this is the effect you're looking for.
