If you simply want to drag an object around a card, you can use the
following in an object script:

on mouseDown
 grab me
end mouseDown

If you need to track anything during a drag, you can see some examples in a
drag sampler stack that is available by executing the following in your LC
message box:

  go url "http://www.tactilemedia.com/site_files/downloads/drag_sampler.rev";

Since your target is iOS, you may need to substitute handlers with
touchStart/touchEnd,  but the principles should be the same.
