I 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 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){

btw, I am using actionscript 2.0
I have 12 movieclips on one layer, each are draggable some perform an action some dont. The problem is the levels when they are dragged some are above the other clips on the same layer and some are below. I want the dragged clip to be above all clips. Also on the stage there are text boxes over the "droptarget" they have to be on a layer above to be visible. So therefore the area where the text box is does not allow the dragged item to perform its task, the "droptarget" function does not work.

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'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 2 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.

I have an issue where removechild won't infact remove a child. I think its something to do with my dropTarget.parent issues. The concept of the code is that you drag a source onto a destination. When you drop the source onto the destination you will get a text field that says "Hello" or "Goodbye". The objective i want to achive is that once i drop a source onto the destination, removechild will remove any previouse textfields added. This is proving difficult.

I am trying to defeat my psychological block with dynamically loaded fonts in AS3, and I have an annoying problem. I am creating a clock with a textfield and I am loading fonts from a SWF library: the available classes/linkages are "Arial", "ArialBold", "MyriadPro", "MyriadProBold" and "Verdana".This is the line where I get the class from the SWF, and it extracts the class correctly
Code:
clock = new Clock( { fontClass: assetsLoader.getFontClass("skin", "Arial") } );

I have run across a strange problem. When I load products2.swf by itself, I can call the two "copy" files and everything works. When I open 0342.swf (the index page), I can switch between the home and products2 pages, but I can't view the "copy" pages.I'm guessing there may be some sort of conflict with variable names, but I have been messing with it for most of today.I have uploaded all of the FLA files to here:[url]....
If you make an swf file out of each of the attached items, and open the 0342 file, you will see what is supposed to be happening.

I have a button object that I need to scale to align with the variable width of an array of images.However, when I set the width in code, the button does not actually become that width. Tracing out the width gives me the correct value, but on screen.. it's off.
I've proved it to myself by scaling the same button object manually in the properties pane and visually comparing. Both of the buttons below have a width of 410.
Code:
navigatorDown_btn.width = 410;
navigatorDown_btn.x = (stage.stageWidth/2)-(navigatorDown_btn.width/2);
trace(navigatorDown_btn.width); // output: 410

View 8 RepliesI have a completed project (AS2) that contains a lot of FLVs. I burned it onto DVD and it works great on Mac (guide.app) and PC (guide.exe).Here's the web version of the project.http:[url]....Now, months later, I have to provide the project with source files (FLA's) and some other stuff - so I got an external HD, copied the files from the working DVD onto it. Running the guide.exe off of the external (connected to WinXP SP3) works just like running it off the DVD - EXCEPT for the FLVs which simply to not appear.
http:[url]...Everything up to that step works: When I click on "guide.exe", the "splash screen" opens showing the title and 4 buttons. These buttons are to choose a language and they work.When I select a language and click its button the GUI for the language with menus appear and they work. When I click on a topic from the menu, the topic's skin appears but the video inside the skin doesn't play. Everything works but the FLVs.
Even weirder - If I use VLC Player to open an FLV directly - the FLV will play. That tells me there is some path issue but how can a path change when it's compiled into the SWF? Besides - the paths from swf to flv has not changed when I copied all the files to the external.why the FLVs will not play on the external the same way they play when on the DVD?
i have a flash that I have tried to add my html link to the aboutus.htlm, billboard.html, and contac.html and it is not working? I am still new but would like to email the flash file for someone to tell me why its not working- I added the link for aboutus.html but its not working.

}
i click on the button and absolutely nothing happens. has anyone ever come across something like this? is this a settings problem?
Whenever I try to import any .wav, .mp3, or any other kind of file, it always says that there was a problem reading them.
