The problem, and it is a problem, is that I have a set of alphabet tiles
called names such as
"A.png", "B.png" and "C.png" [trying to be original here]
and they all contain this script:
on mouseDown
put the short name of me into IMENA
delete the last char of IMENA
delete the last char of IMENA
delete the last char of IMENA
delete the last char of IMENA
clone me
set the name of the last image to IMENA
set the script of img IMENA to fld "fscrip"
end mouseDown
So field "fscrip" has to contain a UNIVERSAL script that will work with
every new tile without
any reference to the name of a target over which it is dragged:
I have been trying by having this in fld "fscrip":
on mouseDown
grab me
end mouseDown
on mouseUp
put the short name of me into IMENA
if within(img ("%" & IMENA), the mouseLoc) OR within(img ("^" &
IMENA), the mouseLoc) OR within(img ("#" & IMENA), the mouseLoc) then
--nix
else
move me to 1000,700
end if
end mouseUp
The main problem being that that script throws a "bluey" if there are
not 3 targets called,
for example "%A", "^A" and "#A"
Ultimately this is far from satisfactory as there could be anywhere
between 0 (zero) and about 12 targets.
As the specific targets are unknown for each letter they cannot be
specified.

Well, assuming you are following the same sort of naming procedure for all
tiles and grid names… then what about
on mouseDown
grab me
end mouseDown
local tShortNameOfTarget
on mouseUp
put the short name of target into tShortNameOfTarget
repeat with x = 1 to the number of controls
if the loc of target is within the rect of control x then
if (tShortNameOfTarget is in the short name of control x) AND (the ID
of the target is not the ID of control x) then
set the loc of target to the loc of control x
exit repeat
else
move me to 350,350
end if
end if
end repeat
end mouseUp

Well, let's contextualise that:
It works in my example stack #3:

but NOT in my stack with multiple targets.

Try this in the image “P” script

I'm obviously getting something rather wrong, so I have uploaded something here
as explaining things without a sample stack and a pretty picture is well-nigh
impossible:

This doesn't seem to work because this cycles through ALL the controls, and, of
course,
the object being dragged is also a control.
Ah. Forgot about that. You'll need to add a condition:
if within(control x, the mouseLoc) \
AND ("P" is not in the short name of control x)
AND (the ID of the target is not the ID of control x) then
