Underneath

[Randy Hengst]

Well, assuming you are following the same sort of naming procedure for all tiles and grid names… then what about

on mouseDown
grab me
end mouseDown

local tShortNameOfTarget

on mouseUp
   put the short name of target into tShortNameOfTarget
   
   repeat with x = 1 to the number of controls
      if the loc of target is within the rect of control x then
         if (tShortNameOfTarget is in the short name of control x) AND (the ID of the target is not the ID of control x) then 
            set the loc of target to the loc of control x
            exit repeat
         else
            move me to 350,350
         end if
      end if
   end repeat
end mouseUp
