Jim, I'm not seeing that on my Mac (I'm running Lion if that makes any difference, and LC 4.6.4). Does either your oval or rectangle have graphic effects applied to it? Perhaps something like that is slowing down redraw… Just to compare, here's what I did: 1) Created a new stack, made the window like 1024x768 (approximately. 2) Created an oval graphic in the upper-left corner of the window 3) Create a rectangle graphic just underneath it 4) Dragged a button to the lower-right corner of the window 5) Dragged a button to the lower-left corner of the window and edited its script to read: on mouseUp lock moves move grc 1 to the loc of btn 1 without waiting move grc 2 to the loc of btn 1 without waiting unlock moves end mouseUp Switched to browse, and then executed it - the movements were smooth and no jerkiness. Since I don't know what values you have in tPoints or tNewPoints, maybe you can try what I did and see if you get the same result? If so, then it might be the number of points or something else related to properties of the graphics themselves. Ken Ray Sons of Thunder Software, Inc.
