FLASH: Droptaget question

[Shaun Brazier]

Hi,


I am working on a project where I have to release a dragged movie clip in a specific place.  I thought that the following script(attached to a button) would enable this.  I am trying to detect where the dropped movieclip is.  Would I be right in saying that I can't use the _droptarget command until I have dropped the movie clip. (Ah, I think I am beginning to see the problem...doh!).  Too many hours syndrome etc.  If this is the case, what would be the best way to do it.  I only want the movie to be able to be dropped in box "A" or box "B".  If in Box B, the MC stops, if in box A the MC carries on playing.  I hope I have explained myself properly.


Here is the story so far:



On (Press)

       Start Drag ("/client")

       Begin Tell Target ("/client")

             Stop

       End Tell Target

End On

On (Release)

       If (_droptarget eq _x >= 72<=  166 and _y >=  121 <=140)

             Stop Drag

       Else If (_droptarget eq _x >= 72 <=  677 and _y >=  31 <= 94)

             Stop Drag

             Begin Tell Target ("/client")

                   Play

             End Tell Target

       End If

End On


 

 

Would I be better off using: "if((get property /client_x)>= 72<=  166 )and((get property /clients_y)=121 <=140)

                                                     Stop Drag

 

                                                     etc

 

As you can probably tell, my experience in writing the correct syntax is very limited!

 

Any help much appreciated

 

Thanks in advance

Regards
