I am using this code currently

+Mouse is overlapping object
+left click of mouse is being held
-set x position of object to xmouse.

Thats all well and good but if you move too fast the mouse detaches from the object.

So I decided to use flags so that it would lock on and that did work but I didn't know what code to use that would make it detach. Anyone know what I can do?

Create an active and set it to XY of the mouse, then have the object you want to follow it set to bouncing ball and always look at the object set on the mouse. Then of course set to events when the object is touching the mouse object and the object is not touching the mouse object, and then put the start and stop movement to the respective event.

This is the simple way, there is a more complex way using mathematics that would use less actives, and you can achive a greater result using extentions. The other members of the community that know there math might be able to tell you the equations and stuff, my brain isn't working well right now though. Sorry.

EDIT: I'm a little confused on what you want to accomplish, do you want the object to follow the mouse when it is clicked? Do you want to drag the object? Or what I just said and just have it follow the mouse?

(Negate) Repeat while left mouse button is being held
+ Object Flag is on
>Set flag off.

I think that's what you wanted...

If it's still detaching, you may need to use fastloops.
