Re: FLASH: Target Area Question

[Robert Bleeker]

Hi Virgil,


Place your orbitals already on screen, with the alpha set to 0%, the you

could use that orbital as your drag movie by setting the alpha property to

100% and using "Start drag" on the mouse "press" and "Stop drag" on mouse

"release" and "release outside".


To find out where they dropped the orbital you could use "droptarget"

property or do a check on "_x" or "_y" properties.


That is a start.
