Stop Drag

Pop a target (sprite, movie, thread) name s₁.

Pop a first Boolean b₂, which, when true, means that the mouse pointer is locked to the center of the object being dragged.

Pop a second Boolean b3, which when true means that the mouse pointer is constrained to the specified rectangle1 (n₄ to n₇, representing y₂, x₂, y₁, x₁.)

Once this function was called, the object attached to the mouse pointer will follow the mouse until a Stop Drag action is applied or another object is defined as the object being dragged with another Start Drag.

1. The rectangle is not defined when b₃ is false.
