I have a problem with _droptarget. I created a puzzle in witch the target works. Now I want to load the puzzle into an other movie, lets say in _level100. Everything in the puzzle works, except for the _droptarget.
View 1 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 RepliesThe top left corner works ok - I copied and pasted the code and made the minor changes. The other 3 parts of the puzzle are causing a real puzzle for me.I've checked instance names, and everything else I can think of.Is there something in the code that could prevent the other bits working properly? Some of the names aren't brilliant - I thought this would only take a few minutes to knock up!
Code:
// Drag cameron 2
a2.onPress = function() {
this.startDrag(false);
};

I have a simple jigsaw type puzzle - only 4 pieces at the moment. The top left corner works ok - I copied and pasted the code and made the minor changes. The other 3 parts of the puzzle are causing a real puzzle for me. I've checked instance names, and everything else I can think of.
Is there something in the code that could prevent the other bits working properly?
Code:
// Drag cameron 2
a2.onPress = function() {
this.startDrag(false);};
a2.onRelease = function() {
this.stopDrag();
// Convert the slash notation to dot notation using eval.
if (eval(this._droptarget) == b_mc) {
b_mc._visible = false;
c2._visible =true;
a2._visible =false;
change_score();
}};
The fla is attached.
I am trying to make a jigsaw puzzle where you can upload an image of a set size.Right now the only way I can think to do that would involve loading the same image for each piece, which I don't want to do for performance reasons.Is there a way I can make an instance of a movieClip the same as the instance of a different movieClip?
View 1 RepliesI 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 3 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.

I'm having some strange luck in building an image slide show.I load the image paths into an array from an XML page and then step through the array elements w/ forward and back buttons.I have an empty image clip on the stage where I create an empty movie clip inside each time a new image is loaded.I load the image into the second movie clip like this:[code]Now, 98% of the time this works perfectly, but there is some certain times where the image resizing is completely ignored and the image gets loaded as it's normal size.Can anyone see why the image sizing get's ignored in some instance?
View 1 RepliesI followed this tutorial for a form mailerHowever when I try to load this from my main swf into a movie clip holder, it no longer works. It only wants to work by itself, im a novice at flash/actionscript but im wondering if this is causing the problem by trying to get to the root of my main movie instead of the actual mailer.swf?
onClipEvent(data){
_root.nextFrame();
}
I have a "photo" gallery that loads numerous SWFs through xml, one by one on click. All works fine. All my SWF work fine stand alone. But when I load them into the player, many swf dont work properly.in example, I have textinput textfields in many of the swfs, which work fine on their own but not when loaded into the player. Then I have a word search game that works fine when alone, not when in player. I can see there is something as my mouse cursor changes into the "button finger", but nothing visual.
All drag and drop assigments work fine etc. I have no idea whats up. I have receantly switched to as3 and in as2 there was _lockroot declaration that solved similar problems, but now in as3 (where it supposedly should be automatic) it doesnt work. As it seems that it cannot recognise it own stage value, or selection_focus when loadedinside another swf through xml.Using cs4, as3.
in AS2 it was
Code:
on (press) {
startDrag(this);
}
on (release) {

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]....

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 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.

I'm pretty new to flash but recently got an assignment at college to produce a childrens game, I've been following a tutorial online to produce a jigsaw puzzle, so I can get use to actionscript and gain a little experience.

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.
