So I'm trying to get my actionscript code working, and I'm having troubles.I want it so that when I drag a movie clip onto another movie clip it changes a variable to a number. However, there are three possible movie clips to drop onto, and I want a different number for each. I have a movie clip and inside it is a button with code along the lines of:
ActionScript Code:
on (release) {
stopDrag ();
[code].....
Release to Drop NOT WORKING on drag and drop? Or is it something else?Can be seen here:

Code:
var origX:Number;
var origY:Number;
for(var i:uint=1; i<6; i++){
this["choice_"+String(i)].buttonMode = true;
[code]....
I'm using a simple drag and drop quiz, but it is NOT working correctly . When I play the movie, the mouse picks up the movieclips but never drops them, even when they are in a target area.

I'm trying to set up a very simple drag and drop game where users drag movie clips onto other matching movie clips.If the answer is correct, the mc stays in place; otherwise, it snaps back to original position. So far, only the dragging part works -- the movie clip won't stay in place when dragged to the correct position.I'm using Flash CS3 and Actionscript 2.The Flash movie can be found here: http:[url]..As it's set up now, the mc with the buffalo symbol is draggable,and the correct drop zone is the fish with thetext.Here's the script I'm using:
// Get the movie clip's location and
// store the coordinates as variables

I have a container which loads an external swf having drag drop functions. when the loaded swf is played separately it works fine. But when it is loaded into the container the dragging doesnt works. My coding for drag drop in the loaded swf is as follows.
on (press){
startDrag(_root.img1, true, 100, 130, 700, 700);
_root.img1.swapDepths(1);
b.stop();

I have a Drag&Drop game that works perfectly when viewed alone, but when I import it through a master SWF it wont work. You can drag the items but when you release them on the right droptarget they are all sent back. Its like it doesn't recognize the droptargets I think, but Im not sure...(Take a look at the Zip for .fla & .swf)

I've got 3 coloured balls and 3 zones which any of the balls can be dropped in. The idea is that once a ball is placed in a zone, it stays in that zone and no other ball can be added to that zone until the current ball is removed.
I've got to a point so that any ball can be placed in any zone. However, the problem is there seems to be some hierarchy with regards to the balls. ball0_mc seems to be the chief ball, and will replace any of the other two balls if there placed in a zone, instead of snapping back to it's original position because the zone is full. ball0_mc also can't be replaced by any of the other balls if its placed in a zone. ball1_mc is the next one down the line and when in a zone, can be replaced by ball0_mc if its dragged over it, but it cannot be replaced by the third and final ball2_mc. ball2_mc seems to be the runt of the pack and can be replaced by either of the two other balls when its in a zone and cannot replace any of the other balls when they're in a zone.
Hope you're still with me?! So, what I'd like to do is make it so each ball is equal, so when any ball is placed in a zone, it can't be replaced with another ball until the current ball has been removed...and they live happily ever after in the land of ballshire.
Here's my code. I've created two classes, one linked to the movie clip balls called 'Ball', and another called 'EgoGame' which is being used as the document class for the main .fla file.

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 into movie clips.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 the objects were masked or for any other reason?[code]
View 3 RepliesI'm new with flash and I'm having some trouble with my script. The idea is to start the game by pressing the start button, and the countdown starts. The start button will then disappear. In 60 seconds, the idea is to try to drag all the garbage objects into the respective recycling bins. Only 1 try per object.The object will return to it's original position if it's been placed wrongly, mouseevent for that object is then disabled.
After 60 seconds, the game will end and all mouseevents are disabled. The start button reappears and I can restart the game again.

I can usually fumble my way through things *and i usually like to figure things out on my own* I did find a few other threads on this, but the only conclusive thing i came across was the _lockroot = true; which works beautifully.. untill u navigate to the drag and drop portion.

I'm trying to make a simulation where a person can drag 2 different objects to any 4 predefined targets on the stage. Based on the position of the 2 objects there will be a different output text. I hope I described that clearly. I would also like the 2 objects to snap to the 4 targets. Im very new to AS. Im starting to be able to read it a bit but still can not wright it.

View 3 RepliesIm 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:

View 1 RepliesI have added drag and drop to some of my custom components.The drag event is fired on mouse down.If you mouse down and move the component around then drop it repeatedly its fine.But if you mousedown and drag the component around drop it and THEN just click on the component it inits the drag but doesn't fire the drop event.Its almost like you have to move the component for it to fire the drag drop event.This is very annoying as i'm removing the component on drag init and adding it again on drop, so just clicking on it makes it disappear.

View 3 RepliesI am developing a simple drag and drop game..except my draggable items are in a movie clip and my targets are also in a movie clip. My draggable objects work fine, they drag and snap back into place when the mouse is let go, but... they dont snap to their targets.They do snap to their targets when they are directly on the timeline, but inside another movie clip it doesnt work and i can't figure out why.[code]
View 1 RepliesBasically, there will be two images, which participants are to choose between. Below the pairs of images will be a horizontal bar with arrows at both opposite ends. I would like the participant to be able to drag and drop a small rectangle somewhere along the bar to represent their choice (and the degree of their endorsement).Basically, I'm asking how to make an interactive scrollbar on its side (without buttons, just the drag). I would also like it to start in the middle of the bar and be able to be moved in either direction.
View 2 Repliesusing 'drag and drop' in flash without overlapping?
For example - I have a list of buttons i drag to an area on the stage. I do not want my buttons to overlap.
I've dynamically created a bunch of MCs from a single MC in the library.
Inside the MC's timeline, I have written drag and drop code.
The MC's reside in a parent movieclip, that then resides in a scrollpane.
I was wondering if it's possible to write AS3 to drag the clips into another movieclip?
If not the way I have it, is it possible at all to drag MC's from one container MC to another?
I am trying to do a flex drag and drop. It is very similar to this first example.url....The problem is that event.currentTarget.mouseX,mouseY is showing the position where I put the mouse down rather than the position where I had finished dragging.
