[javascript-dev] Re: can't move fpic with Maxobj.rect, is there another way?

Any takers on this?  

I've got a workaround where I send information out one of my js object's outlets and use "script move" messages to [thispatcher], but it seems so much less elegant since I'm doing everything else in Javascript.  Am I missing something obvious?

thanks
