Drag, no drop

Hello,
I did a search for this topic, but was unsuccessful. I want the learner to be able to drag an object around the screen, with no destination for a drop. I have a very large form that I want them to be able to drag around the screen so that different parts of the form come onto the screen as they drag. (stage is 900 x 650, form is 1400 x 1082) When I try various ways to use either the freeform drag and drop or the drag trigger (which makes the object "dragable"), the object always snaps to a screen edge because it's larger than the stage area.
I considered using a slider, but I think the drag option would work better.
Thoughts?
Thanks!

Use the dragged over trigger instead of the drag and drop interaction.
Thanks Phil. But when I try that, the larger image is always snapped to an edge of the stage after I release the mouse button. It doesn't seem to want to let me drop the image where it is because it's larger than the stage area.
I don't think you will achieve this using method, perhaps you could insert as a web object which will give you scroll panels
Good suggestion Phil. I'll give that a try, and play around with the sliders/move animations a bit more.
Thanks!
You might be able to use drag and drop - just make a rectangle the same size as the slide, pull in your form - convert slide to a drag and drop freeform. Make the rectangle the drop target - Turn off the feedback and make sure the Drop target options is set to "Free"
I just did a real quick test and this seemed to work for me.
Oh, nice solution Nancy! Hope that works for your Scott.
