How can I create through actionscript (i.e. not drawing it on the stage) a drop target that works? For some reason I can't work it out. I tried the following code (it looks reasonable), but nothing happens when I drop the square_mc on the target[code]...

i want "x_mc" to droptarget on "y_mc" and use an action
I'm having a little problem of which I'm guessing the solution isn't that hard.. but I just can't put my finger on it...
The thing is: I have got 5 movieclips which are able to drag and drop. Next to that I've got 20 containers which are all droptargets. The movieclips are able to be dragged and then dropped on a container. So far so good. But what I want is that when I drop a movieclip on a container which already has a movieclip dropped on it, the first movieclip gets removed and the second movieclip is dropped on the container. Or you could also say.. that the second movieclip replaces the first movieclip. This instead of the fact that a container has multiple movieclips dropped on itself.

I have been going nuts all day trying to figure out why my 'drag and drop onto a target' movie doesn't work. I have a movie clip to drag onto another movie clip which is the target.when the first clip is dragged onto the target clip i want the target clip to gotoandplay(2);
the clicking and dragging and stopdrag() etc works, but when I drop the piece over the target, it just does nothing.here is my code on the MC that is being dragged:
on(press){
startDrag (this, true, 135, 95, 700, 440);
}
on(release){

I'm testing out some different things right now and I'm trying to make a box, that, when one of two balls is dragged and dropped into it, causes the correct color text to display (i.e. redBall displays "RED", blueBall displays "BLUE" when dropped into box).I've gone through a few different ways of doing this, but now I"m trying to use dropTarget.I'm finding that when I drop it into the box using the code below, everything works fine, but if I drop is anywhere outside the box, I get an error stating "Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference."I'm assuming that I'm just wording this second dropTarget conditional statement (if (e.currentTarget .dropTarget == null)) incorrectly, but I'm not sure how to fix it.Here's the code of the dropping function I'm using:[code]....
View 3 RepliesI made a flash site and one of the pages has drag and drop functions with drop target actions, so that text appears once dropped onto a target.It works fine but when I have it loaded inside an external editor, the drop and drag still works but the drop target function stops working.

I'm building a grammar excercise where I've got 24 drag'n'drop cards (movieClips), that I can drop into two 'slots' or dropTargets. Each card has its corresponding card, and when the right cards are dropped in the dropTargets, they get a 'well done' message, and a button appears so the user can go on to matching the remaining cards. When the button is clicked, I want the dropped cards to simply disappear.
View 7 RepliesI'm setting up some objects connected to classes onto a movie clip dynamically, and although I'm setting the name fine, when I drag another movie clip on top of it and trace for droptarget.name I always get something like "instance01" what am I doing wrong?
View 4 Repliesis there something similar to currentTarget with dropTarget?Right now dropTarget will get me the "lowest" DisplayObject possible, but I'd like to get the top-most. I cannot use parent as my objects are of different nesting depths.
View 1 RepliesI have a drag and drop based SWF. When I pick up a MC and move it , when I put it down it gives me the MC it is on.However there are times when the returned MC isnt the intended MCEg. The top of the MC is *just* on top of One MC but the mouse pointer is over another (the intended spot), So I am trying to find out if there is a way to return the MC that the mouse is over, rather than the MC's top left corner.

when the stopDraggingMe() method is called from another object (code shown below) I need to see all the objects on the stage to see what objects on the stage my currently selected movie clip is over and assign it to the dropCheck.checkAgainst method (that will be checked against an array to see if it can in fact be dropped, if so set the canBeDropped value to true and therefor run the .stopDrag() ). I have read using root is not a good coding practice in AS 3.

I have a movie clip which i use as a drop target. And I have four additional movie clips which can be dragged and dropped into the droptarget movie clip. But when I place a movie clip into a droptarget and I drop the second one too, the droptarget for the second one becomes the first movie clip but not the actual droptarget movie clip.

View 1 RepliesUnfortunatly im having to extend to more draggable objects. So they will be within another movie clip so i can have them scrolling. After making the scroll, the draggable objects dont register on the droptarget as they are within another movie clip. Below is i think the part of the code that needs to be changed so the draggable objects know where to find the drop target.

View 4 RepliesI'm new to Flex, but been working with AS 3.0 and Flash for many years. I'm trying to loop through a variable and based on the supplied information your the particular record, generate a canvas (and note: I'm using a Canvas as my movieclips in Flex). The new canvas (MC) will contain many other items within.
Any I'm wishing I was purely in Flash or can Flex do what I'm trying to ask it to do. I've searched high and low without find any results on creating a canvas component at runtime.

What I am trying to do is create an array of 12 out of an unknown number of thumbnails (there are 23 at the moment though this will change).So basically first 12 in array1, second 12 in array2 an so on until all thumbnails are in an array. So I need to create each array using a dynamic name, in this case 'pagearray' I.E pagearray1, pagearray2, pagearray3.
So here is the code I am trying though I have only managed to get the code to create the one array so far. The last one. This code is within a for loop that iterates through all the thumbnails.[code]...
