Hi Jacque,
Unfortunately, I've deleted the original handlers and gone back to
using Rev's own geometry manager.
I'd placed a button in the bottom right of the window and turned on
live resizing.
In pseudocode, the button's script ran along the lines of:
on mouseDown
repeat while the mouse is down
set the rect of this stack in relation to the mouseLoc (fixing min and
max rects)
end repeat
end mouseDown
on resizeStack
lock screen
-- geometry script in here
unlock screen
end resizeStack
A big bottleneck here is using a mouseDown handler, which you don't
need. Also, "repeat while the mouse is down" is not a great idea in
Revolution. Polling the mouse is very slow and taxes the CPU, and there
is almost always a better way to manage things. See an explanation here:

At any rate, a resizeStack handler manages all the mousedown stuff for
you as well as locking and unlocking the screen. It is also unnecessary
to set the rect of the stack because when the user drags the resize
button the rect is set automatically. You don't need to deal with any of
those things, all you need to do is catch the resizeStack message and
adjust the geometry when it happens.
You'll only need one handler, something like this:
on resizeStack x,y
set the bottomright of btn "fakeCloseBox" to x,y
end resizeStack
That's it. The resizeStack message passes two parameters that represent
the current horizontal and vertical dimensions of the bottom right
corner of the window. All you need to do it set your button to that
location. This should be very fast, whether liveResizing is turned on or
off.
