In a new layer in the drag MC (above the drag button) put a blank
keyframe and a Stop action. Place the splat or splat animation in the
frame or frames following it.
Make the drag MC Invisible and use a Play Action from the Button
Instance properties for On(Press).

A little bit of Trig and geometry would make this fairly easy.
We will be getting into this shortly, it is not very difficult.
The flying arrows in the preloader were all moved in start lines with x
and y proprties and a couple of simple Trig formulas (using the Trig
Plug and Play).

No tweening was used in animating those arrows.
