ActionScript 2.0 :: Unable To Drag And Drop Into Their Designated Areas?
May 28, 2007
Okay, this drag and drop thing seems fairly doable, but I've never tackled it before..I have about six items that I want to be able to drag and drop into their designated areas.I would like whatever mc that is being dragged to be put on the highest level, so I will need the set depths thing to work out.Also, if you drag an MC and release it but it's not on the correct target, I would like it to animate back to it's original position. Could you point me in the right direction as to how to do this? Or help me out with any code or source files you might have?

I am trying to make a quiz on metals. I have several elements which i want to fall into multiple target areas (e.g. the target areas are shaded grey in the following swf; metal_mc, nonmetal_mc, metalloid_mc). I can make individuals match to target areas (as there are tutorials for that) but i want each one to be able to slide in to any target area (and someday i want to create a solve button which will then place each element in the correct place). have started all over and have designated only chlorine to move (for the moment) but how do i code it to allow it to fall into any of the grey areas?
var objectoriginalX:Number;var objectoriginalY:Number;chlorine_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, pickUp);chlorine_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, dropIt);function

I have a simple Flash movie which loads several external PNG-24 images into movie clipsEach movie clip is partially transparent (using alpha transparency), and made drag-and-droppable. Everything works properly except that for each movie clip, I am able to drag and drop the clip using the transparent space around the image. I want the "grab-able" area of each clip to correpond to only the non-transparent areas of the PNG, not a rectangular box around each movie clip.

I've been in web development for years, but I never really ventured into Flash beyond simple tweens and so forth. Now I'm trying to broaden my horizons.Using code from a similar post, I've created a rough 'proof of concept' of a spinning window wheel.I tweaked the AS2 code a bit to work the way I'd like it to, but one thing is still tripping me up... How to get the wheel to stop in designated 'zones' so that answers will be clearly visible in the windows.To put it another way, I'd like this thing to work exactly as shown (randomly), but always stop exactly aligned on one of say 12 zones or slices of the circle

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.

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 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.

We are the developers of a complex Flash component (url...) which worked without issues on Flash CS3 and CS4. Now, in Flash CS5 (both Mac and Windows versions) we have found a couple of problems at author-time
-1- After installing the mxp file containing the component, when trying to drag the component from the Components panel to the stage, or to the Library panel, it doesn't work. There's no way to import the component!
-2- If we open an existing FLA (created with Flash CS4), the component doesn't show correctly at author-time: you only get a black frame, instead of the expected result (it should show a white background with a logo in the middle). When compiling, everything works fine.

I 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]

Basically, 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.

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?

This is an overly complex way of making drag and drop functions, I know. My problem is, when my item hits the target, it doesn't allow me to drag anymore items?

function drag(event:MouseEvent):void {

Flash is completely the wrong app for this, but I don't have access to anything else.I need to parse through a set of files and do some regular expression work on them.Is there a way to drag and drop the text files to do the work on via CS4/AS3? The filenames will always be different, so I can't just hard code that info.

I'm looking into having a interface using multiple windows which you can drag by pulling the dragbar around.Each window would be a movieclip called *****_win and inside would be a dragBar that the mouse has to pull around to move the window.I have searched a lot on google, and decided to end up asking here.
1) All the code I used so far did not have any borders. (The borders would be the stage, not an image).
2) Whenever I dragged an object, it would drag the whole window.
3) If the cursor left the window while dragging (which is does a lot), I have to drag it again.
Anyway how I can do an OS-like way of dragging a window?

I have a drag and drop interface that includes 164 items. Each item is a table. You drag the tables into an image of a floor plan for an event venue.I have the drag and drop stuff working but now I'm stuck on the reset button. AS3 is a new beast to me. I've been using AS2 and just made the switch. [URL]The reset and print buttons are not functional yet.
The code...
Actionscript Code:
// Register mouse event functionsa1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, mouseDownHandler);a1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, mouseUpHandler);a2.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, mouseDownHandler);a2.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, mouseUpHandler);a3.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, mouseDownHandler);a3.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP,
[code]....
I've run traces on everything. It will not trace with the code for the reset button in place. It WILL trace for all the drag and drop functionality.
