Right, but there's two 3.0 beta versions.  Please clarify if it's 
3.0.0-beta1 and 3.0.0-beta2.  Make sure you have 3.0.0-beta2.

Since we recently had a release, you shouldn't need to get CVS.  There 
haven't been any changes to that code yet.

I think I understand now.  Click somewhere on bg1 and have lyr1 move 
there.  Centered lyr1 around the point you clicked?  And then what 
happens?  Continue to drag without lifting the button and clicking lyr1 
to initiate a drag event?  I've never done that, but I would guess I'd 
add an onclick event listener to bg1, and have that handler move bg1, 
centered, and attempt to invoke a drag event on bg1.  I'd probably have 
a delay between the move and the drag, maybe half second or quarter 
second.

> Doug, I tried your example, but couldn't get it to load.

Well, we definitely should be working off the same example here.  I got 
his working with some tweaks of my own here and there, mostly just 
changing the path to the initial dynapi.js script and the subsequent 
setPath and fiddled with some layer sizes and positions.  I'll try to 
get a working example and post that.
