Re: Restricting button movement

Thanks Craig for your help! Could you elaborate a bit on your repeat loops so I can get a better idea of what your looking for? It seems the handler works fine on the y axis but is spotty when you attempt the x axis. I know you said it needs to be smoothed, but I'm having a tough time understanding ...

I am wondering how to get the name of the button that is being intersected when doing a drag operation.... so for instance... You have 5 buttons in a group and each button has a grab command in the mouseDown handler, how can I determine which button the dragged button is colliding with? I understand...
