Dragging actor around a scene

Okysho

I'm trying to create a game where the player drags the main actor around the scene. This works for the most part with the "Move to" behavior, however when I add the move camera action to expand the level, the mouse position doesn't update as the camera moves. Additionally, the mouse position doesn't update properly after the camera has finished moving. How can I fix this?

Create New rule
If touch is pressed
constrain self.position.x to mouse.position.x
constrain self.position.y to mouse.position.y
Control camera

also add a min/max to the camera so it wont go outside your scene

I don't understand what you mean by add a min/max to the camera.

Also, that's the exact behaviour I already have.

Wingmanapps

you say you're using move to? its not very clear what it does in your rule set.
Can you make a screenshot of your rules - Cause the rules listed above has nothing to do with move to behavior

Perhaps drag is a bit of a misnomer, I want the actor to follow the player's finger when the screen is pressed.

I've put this behaviour into the main actor:

and this in the background (with a dummy image):

What happens currently, the actor will go to the initially clicked area on the screen, but when the camera moves, the move will move on the scene, but the values for the x and y positions will not change.

Here's the project file, just so you understand my full meaning.

What should happen:
When the player clicks in the top right corner, the actor should move continually to the top right corner of the scene until the cursor is moved and clicked in a different place.
