Re: moveable

[Phil Gross]

This behavior is fine, but just for the sake of completeness, you might 
also take a look at the constraint sprite property. It allows you keep 
the movement of a sprite within the boundaries of another (possibly 
invisible) sprite. Gives a lot a flexibility.

I've done this:

sprite(3). moveable  = TRUE


Don't do that. Here's a behavior:

  PROPERTY pbDragging

  on beginSprite me
    pbDragging = FALSE
  end
  on mouseDown me
    pbDragging = TRUE
  end
  on mouseUp me
    pbDragging = FALSE
  end
  on mouseUpOutside me
    pbDragging = FALSE
  end
  on exitFrame me
    if pbDragging = TRUE then
      sprite(me.spriteNum).locH = the mouseH
    end if
  end
Drop the behavior on the sprite you want to move. With some tweaking 
it should work fine for you.
