Hi everybody,
When dragging an image and at the same time clicking the second mouse button (Win98)
the image "sticks" to the the mouseloc and nothing else can be done.
Any one have an idea of how I can prevent this?
The script in the image looks something like following:

fferent stacks in the project I'm working with right now. The
main reason for that is to keep stack size down. Some of them have several backgrounds
which they share.
Some backgrounds have graphics which are shared and some backgrounds only have a bunch
of scripts being shared and no visible items. I even have a background "just being
there", to be checked for and sertain things will happen if it's there or not.
As soon as you get used to using the backgrounds in MC you'll see lots of
possibilities.
