Setting Stack's Location

[Sarah Reichelt]

You'll need to check out the globalLoc function. If you just set the 
loc of stack xxx to the loc of image yyy then it will be set relative 
to the top left of the screen instead of the top left of the main stack 
window.
Something like this:

on moveStack
   set the loc of stack "Sub" to globalLoc(the loc of image 1)
end moveStack

will work, but it doesn't move as you move the stack, it moves in a 
jump when you have finished. To get around this, you may have to remove 
the title bar from your main stack and write a custom move handler that 
records the mouseDown, follows the mouseMove and then stops moving on 
mouseUp.

I wrote an article in revJournal in December that analyzed Klaus 
Major's Xmas tree stack. It uses this technique for moving the stack 
around, so you might find it worth your while to check it out:
