Ray,
You don't need any dummy controls, I just adapted this stack from a previous
one where I found that it is slightly quicker to use a hidden control and make
it visible, rather than create a new one, although the speed improvements were
noted with image objects not field objects, I just foun

Ken,
I don't think you even need to go into a polling mode, as soon as user drags an
item onto a stack it triggers a 'dragMove' message so trapping that should work
on both platforms.
Tried a few tests with a small stack and tackling the problem from a different
angle seems to do the trick on

How about going into a polling mode, checking the dragData["files"] every
second or so... it should start out empty, but as soon as the user starts to
drag a file from the desktop, it should have something in it.
Just a thought,

Phil - thanks for the suggestion but I just tried it and no-can-do. For
some reason, and this is a Mac-only behavior, when I mouseDown on the
desktop I can't see any messages at all which are sent to Livecode. The
suspend message is sent if I mouseDown on another stack, but not on a
file on th
Have you tried using 'suspend' instead of 'mouseDown' and
'suspendStack'? Should work the same on both platforms (famous last words!).

On Windows the instant there is a 'mouseDown' on the desktop the current

use this to create a field which then accepts dragDrops. However, this
is different on a Mac. The current stack window on a Mac waits until
