This is what the MCs call on stopDrag:
if (me._droptarget == "/area" && area != 1) {
myVar = me._name;
_root.StoryItems.push(_root[myVar]);
;
area = "1";
with (_root) {
gotoAndPlay (2);
}
} else if (me._droptarget != "/area") {
area = "0";
x = "0";
do {
current = _root.StoryItems[x].toString();
base = (_root[myVar]);
if (base == current) {
_root.StoryItems.splice(x, 1);
}
x = Number(x)+1;
} while (x<_root.storyItems.length);
}
with (_root) {
gotoAndPlay (2);
}
(frame 2 of _root contains:
_root.volume = _root.StoryItems.toString();
_root.volume = _root.removeCharacter(",", _root.volume);
)
