Some CanDo Questions:

1.  How do you create a button that can be dragged by the user?
I tried updating the object position in the drag script, by
taking the current mouse position and subtracting half it's
width and height.  Not only did this quickly fail, but while it
did execute, it drew a new button at the new location, but did
not erase the old button.

2.  How do you change the text on a text button via a script?

3.  How do you access the current position of a button via a
script?

4.  How do you create a "pop-up" menu?


Many thanks,
