This is a Lua resource that allows to make Frames moveable by the user using drag and drop. The user right clicks a frame and while he holds the right mouse button the frame will follow the mouse. Only frames supporting a Frame Mouse Enter event can be made move able with this resource.
It uses a modified version of global init from Bribe.
How this get the mouse screen position when there is not GetMouseScreenPos?
It creates a grid of invisible Frames each knowing its own position each such frame has a tooltip if that tooltip is visible the mouse is on its position. This requires an huge amount of frames ~10k.
This grid is the system FrameGrid.

MoveAbleFrame (Mini) by Tasyen
MoveAbleFrame allows to drag&drop frames you have setuped to be moveable. This System is async do not use anthing of it in a sync manner. (Mini) does not save frame positions
function MoveAbleFrame.setup(frame)
makes this frame moveable by user with drag and drop, only works on frameTypes supporting FRAMEEVENT_MOUSE_ENTER and FRAMEEVENT_MOUSE_LEAVE
has to be called sync cause it creates events, unlike the other userMoveAbleFrame functions which should be used async
The user changed position can be saved in a file and loaded. The frames are identyfied by the order, they were added to userMoveAbleFrame.
Means when adding new userMoveAbleFrames not to the end (order wise), then a saved File can move a wrong frame when loading an File saved with an old version.
function MoveAbleFrame.enable(player[, flag])
(dis)allows drag and drop moveable Frames for player, use GetLocalPlayer() to affect all players
can be called without flag in such a case the current value is negated. true <-> false
this has no impact on current done drag&dropping
returns the value of MoveAbleFrame.Enabled
