Can you list the sort of commands you are thinking of?

Create a button and put the script on it
The result will be a draggable button. Is that what you are looking for?
Code: Select all
on mouseDown pButtonNumber
grab me
end mouseDownRe: commands U.I friendly

I would understand "other commands" (plural) to mean more than that.
However, the OP is given to such terseness that sometimes their questions are obscure.
I have requested amplification.
Whether this terseness is due to poor English, or just a heckling way of of demanding things, I'm not exactly sure. But the effect is the latter.

Samuele has 78 posts here, most quite obviously in earnest. I'd give a little time before casting judgment on this one.
It's actually a good question: the drag command is a holdover from HC, yet we have little in the engine to handle modern animation effects like multicell sprites, or even threaded animated GIFs.

I am 100% sure Samuele is in earnest.
I was commenting on the terseness of his postings, and not his obvious wish to learn.

Maybe he's seen enough of my posts to see how things that are too long to read don't get read, so he's erring the other direction.richmond62 wrote: ↑Fri Jan 14, 2022 11:55 pmI am 100% sure Samuele is in earnest.

He's learning LC and making progress. The problem with learning a new programming language is that you don't have the vocabulary to explain what you're looking for. This is compounded by the fact that English may not be his first language. I don't hold any of that against him.

Nor do I.
HOWEVER, it would be easier to help him if he were more verbose, even if he used what we might
term everyday terms, or even supplied some diagrams.

I didn't want to cause any discussions, but wll all the things that you said are true, english is not my first language and it's difficult for me to express myself in english let alone using livecode or programming terms, but i try, and you'0re right that it's complicated to understand exactly what i mean. So i'll try to explain better, for exapmle what andresdt said but that's just one of... my question is are they any other commands like that (you may see them in other apps/games) or as FourthWorld said
or better for exaple the "movements" you can see on this picture

The drag command is the easiest way to do it but you could also use a mouseMove handler to track the mouse and set the location of the object to the mouseloc. This does the same thing but requires more code and needs additional code to exit the drag. It isn't the best way to do it.
What effect do you want besides just moving the control? If you want shadows or other visual changes you can script those before the drag begins.
