The Not Yet was meant as text in a text field with a variable name of

DropName to help monitor the _droptarget value.


OK if a movie is on a Level other than zero then _droptarget returns the

_levelx.

-----------------------------------

So for level 5:


On (Release)

     Stop Drag

     Set Variable: "DropName" = GetProperty ("", _droptarget)

     If ("DropName" eq "_level5/drain")

           Go to and Play ("turn")

      End If

End On

--------------------------------------------

But for Level zero there is no _level0/  :


On (Release)

     Stop Drag

     Set Variable: "DropName" = GetProperty ("", _droptarget)

     If ("DropName" eq "/drain")

            Go to and Play ("turn")

      End If

End On

--------------------------------------------

If you needed the routine to to be flexible, a string comparison routine

could be created.
