That's true if you're trying to do drag-and-drop programming, but I don't
think the OP was trying to do that.  I think he's basically trying to change
the frame of a subview.  If that's the case, I think you'll want to look at
the documentation for -[NSResponder mouseDragged].  (Note that NSImageView
is a type of NSResponder.)
