Re: FLASH: dragging part two

[Ramesh CT]

You have to have a starting movie clip's horizontal location, from there you

move a movie clip left or right 72 pixels.


// movie clip script

onClipEvent(load) {

 origX = this._x; // starting horizontal position of MC

 origY = this._y // starting vertical position of MC

}


// button script

on (press) {

 startDrag (this, false, origX-72, origY, origX+72, origY);

}

on (release) {

 stopDrag ();

}


hope this helps

regards

Subject: FLASH: dragging part two

|OK, I think I give up!

|

|I have a movie clip with a hidden button that, when pressed allows the

|user to drag the clip.  I want it to only drag one inch either left or

|right...no movement allowed up or down.  I set the constraint to

|rectangle to 72 fro LTRB and as soon as I click down on the clip, it

|shoots to the top left coprner of the nmovie.  What am I doing wrong???

|Thanks,

|Jim
