Re: FLASH: target detection

[Chad Byers]

I think I may have come into the thread a little late, and am relatively new to

flash (though I am skilled with Director and Lingo).  Is this bit of script used

completely within Flash?  I'm guessing that it will detect when a draggable

object comes into contact/overlaps another object.  Am I following this

correctly?


A genreal question:  How much in depth usability of flash depends on interaction

with a web page and some other code, like Javascript?


Thanks
