ActionScript 2.0 :: Drag And Drop Objects That Snap Into Place?
Dec 8, 2006
I'm new around these parts (I literally signed up about 3 minutes ago!). I'm a high school student who just started using Flash about a month or two ago, so I'm far from advanced, though I have tackled some of the basics. In class I'm working on an art portfolio site but in my spare time I'm making a virtual dress-up doll (you know, the kind where you can pick up the clothes and drop them on the figure to mix and match outfits).Learning how to make drag-and-drop objects was very easy and there are lots of tutorials on it but what I can't figure out is how to get objects to "snap" into place. I want it so that the doll's hairdo's snap into position because they look kind of stupid when placed incorrectly.

I am using a drag n drop (snap into place) routine. MC1 is dragged onto mc2. I want a button on mc2 to make mc1 go to its original position and reset itself. As it is mc1 goes to frame 2 where the frame is empty.

Im trying to do a drag and drop system where the user can drag a movie clip into an area. Although i would like to make it snap to a target instead of just sitting wherever it lands in the area. Problem Two:
The next thing i am trying to do is when the user has a movie clip on a target already, and trys to put another movie clip in that target area, it will replace the one thats in there and go back to its current position. Here is the script of what i have done so far:

I'm new to Flash (sort of - I used it a bit back in 1999-2000, but it's changed a LOT since then). I'm making an educational game for my company that involves dragging labels from a word-bank to their correct position on a diagram. I want the kids to be able to drag any one of the five labels and move them to any one of five marked positions on the diagram. I'm using Flash CS5 with Actionscript 3. I used code snippets, so that each individual label has the following code associated with it:
movieClip_1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN , fl_ClickToDrag);
function fl_ClickToDrag(event:MouseEvent):void
{[code]..

Ok, first of all I'm new to all of this as I'm just doing some parttime work. I'm trying to make a drag and drop game where the images (imported and made into movie clips with instance names "peg1 - peg7") are to be dragged onto targets (images, made into movie clips with instance names "targetpeg1-targetpet7").[code]

The app allows the user to drag images from a libray onto a grid and position the elements within the grid. The user can also drag textfields which can be edited and resized.The grid needs to have some sort of snap-to, to make it easier for the user to line up the elements. And then I need to create resize handles around both the editable text fields and the other mc's. Has anyone seen a tutorial or can anyone help me with?
1. Drag and drop with a snap to grid
2. Resize handles for mc's, and inparticular textfields
In the end, I need to be able to track all of the x and y's of the elements on stage and then be able to rebuild their layout when it is loaded in a subsequent session. I'm sure this is going to be difficult.

I have been trying to emulate a drag n drop program from flash and math site dragdroptour snap to location tutorial.It uses a placed variable set at the beginning of the script and updates it with a function used elsewhere. For some reason my version of the code will not update this variable could someone tell me where I've gone wrong? I've done this before in AS and think I used globalvars but I know you cannot do this in AS3 and I'm trying not to go down that route as I know it's bad practise.Its the paper1,2,3 vars that won't update with the release to drop functions.[code]

I have made a flash application and in this flash application I have included a jigsaw puzzle. The application is wrote on one timeline and certain frames are used as different pages within the application.
The problem is once the jigsaw drag and drop are moved the pieces are displayed on all frames instead of just the one jigsaw puzzle frame I created.
How can I make these drag and drop items not be shown on the other frames?[code]...

I'm Trying to develop a small game where the user chooses from a range of boxes of the left of screen and can drag 3 of them separatley to 3 holding boxes on ther right. each box can be dragged to any location and the order is not important. Once the 3 holding boxes are all full I want a new button to appear. I completed a tutorial and I've got one box working perfectly but no matter what i try I can't get it working with multiple boxes and locations. Below is a list of the instance names of the movie clips plus my actionscript. I've attached a link to the flash file.
[URL]
INSTANCE NAMES
box 1 = "circle_mc"
box 2 = "circle_mc2"
both the grey boxes are called = "targetCircle"

I am trying to create a drag and drop tutorial by building a chemistry set.
The object of the tutorial is to drag and drop the appropriate instruments onto the target to build the kit.
I have the chemistry stand which had been designated as the target and five instruments which the user can drag and drop though only one will connect to the stand and send the user to the next frame. The instruments that are not correct snap back to their original position.
This process continues over 6 seperate frames.
The whole drag and drop process works fine, the only issue is that when the user picks up the wrong instrument and it snaps back to original position, and the user then picks up the correct instrument and send the user to the next frame, the wrong instrument (only the one that was picked up) is behind all the other new objects.
How do I get the wrong object that was picked up in the previous frame to not be in the new frame?
I have also included the actionscript for both the correct and and incorrect instrument.
Correct Instrument:
package Chem.DragDrop
{
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
[Code]....

I am doing a lesson on electricity with my class. I have a range of electrical symbols which the kids use to create simple circuits by dragging and dropping on the interactive whiteboard. I only have one of each symbol displayed - when a student drags one away I want the symbol/object to replicate itself at the same point that one was dragged away

I have found the following code and modified it.
Code:
// Drag a piece of garbage.
rubbish_mc.onPress = function() {
this.startDrag(false); }; // When the garbage is dragged over the trashcan, make it invisible.
rubbish_mc.onRelease = function() {
this.stopDrag(); // Convert the slash notation to dot notation using eval.
if (eval(this._droptarget) == trash_mc) {
rubbish_mc._visible = false;
change_score(); } };
My question: I have numerous movie clips for the rubbish. Is there a more elegant way of calling them than repeating the above lines with rubbish2_mc, rubbish3_mc etc.

I have a drag and drop project using bitmaps that were masked using fireworks. All bitmaps are PNG (fireworks files) and one object is GIF. All objects were converted to movie clips.
PROBLEM: All movie clips from PNG's can be dragged, but they can't be dropped. However, the GIF movie clip responds to both drag and drop.ActionScript worked when all movie clips had GIF's. Is this problem because they objects were masked or for any other reason?
Note: Objects were masked because their border is very fussy and cropping them doesn't help with the quality of their image.
var startX:Number;
var startY:Number;
var counter:Number = 0;[code]...

I have been trying forever to figure out how to add multiple mc's (images) with different instance names to 1 target only (another image). All of the mc's and the target are placed on the same layer. All I want it to do is snap different images to the same target. I have tried placing the target on a seperate layer but it does not work either.
Here is the code:
ActionScript Code:
cat_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, pickUp);
cat_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, dropIt);
dog_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, pickUp);

I'm creating an application where the user can select an object from a list of objects, and then put it on the main window.
I want to have the list of objects presented like in the web app : [URL]
The user can select a category, then the list of objects of that category is displayed, then he can drag and drop an object to the main window.
How is it possible to do this, having a list of objects?
