I think you'll need to test whether the pointer is within each control:

   repeat with x = 1 to the number of controls
     if within(control x, the mouseLoc) AND ("P" is not in the short 
name of control x) then
       send image "P" somewhere else
       exit repeat -- presumably you only want the first one
     end if
   end mouseUp
