RE: FLASH: Drag and Drop Double Trouble/

[Barbaccia, Joseph]

Thanks Brandon, that was helpful. I've gotten to the next step and am stuck

again.

I've placed this in the draggable MC.


On (Press)

      Start Drag (GetProperty (_x,_y), L=20, T=400, R=200, B=401)

End On

On (Release)

      If (_droptarget eq "movie4")

      End If

      Stop Drag

End On


I know that I need a Go to play after the if statement. I can send it to

play a frame or expression, but I cannot direct the MC to go to a particular

scene in the parent movie. What am I missing? Besides a good rational left

side of my brain.

When you drop a movie clip a value is placed in its _droptarget property.

This is the name of the instance you dropped the MC on top of. For example

on your line you will probably have 10 MCs, named /1, /2, /3, etc

All you then have to do is in the on Release code of your draggable MC

reference the _droptarget property of its self to see what you dropped on

top of and hence do the correct thing.

Hello all,


Having some problems with ActionScripting.


I can understand the drag part and have successfully found the answers to

the question of dragging a MC within a rectangle.


However, I want the user, not only to drag a circle over a line of 10

numbers (1 - 0), but to have the placement of the circle over a particular

number reveal a title, then send the user to a coresponding scene. Is it

_droptarget I use? I don't know!


My poor old designer's brain pale's at the thought of another blind search

for the truth. But I know. . . it's out there.


Thank you for your help.


I feel like Blanche DuBois.
