Hi,

I had a similar problem doing a while(...) {... wait(1) ...} within an entity event. It seemed that it ran just for one frame. The manual says that you should not use wait(1) in entity events - maybe thats also true for panel events.
So maybe it could help to do the panel movement in a seperate function and just set a trigger in the panel event. Something like ...

Code:
var popupboxDrag = 0;

function popupbox_click_event();
PANEL* popupbox = 
{
	bmap = popupbox_map;
	layer = 4;
	event = popupbox_click_event;
}

function popupbox_click_event()
{
	popupboxDrag = 1
}

function popupboxAction()
{
  while(1)
  {
    if(popupboxDrag)
    {
        popupboxDrag = 0;
	while(mouse_left)
	{
		popupbox.pos_x += mickey.x;
		popupbox.pos_y += mickey.y;
		wait(1);
	}
    }
    wait(1);
  }
}

main()
{

  ...
  popupboxAction();
  ...

}
