When the user clicks on an object (Button, Field, Card), the
container "target" contains the identification of that object.
The script you want to use would look something like this:
     
on mouseUp
  set the top of cd fld 1 to the bottom of the target
  set the left of cd fld 1 to the left of the target      
end mouseUp
                                                 
This is just a very rough script. If you need more assistance,
please don't hesitate to ask.

P.S. As always, the documentation is many times the most 
     definitive source for HyperTalk languauge definitions.
     Note that there is some discussion to be found in the
     documentation which outlines the somewhat esoteric 
     differences between "the target" and "target".
