Subject: <lingo-l> dragging a non-moveable sprite
> For a couple of reasons, I don't want to make my sprite moveable, yet I do
> want the user to be able to move it with the mouse. So I use this script:
>
> on mouseDown me
> pLeftMouseOffset = the mouseH - sprite(me.spriteNum).loc[1]
> pTopMouseOffset = the mouseV - sprite(me.spriteNum).loc[2]
> if the stillDown then
> locLeft = the mouseH - pLeftMouseOffset
> locTop = the mouseV - pTopMouseOffset
> sprite(me.spriteNum).loc = point(locLeft, locTop)
> end if
> end mouseDown

> It generally works, but when you move the mouse quickly, the handler stops
> working. I get the same results placing this script in a mouseWithin
handler.
