ActionScript 3.0 :: Drag And Drop - Objects That Remain Behind
Aug 23, 2011
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;

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 am designing a simple classify drag and drop game, but I got several objects and targets, for example square shape object can only go to square shape target, however when I have 2 or more square, then the square2 and square3 can not go to square target!
Code:
var objectoriginalX:Number;
var objectoriginalY:Number;
var counter:Number = 0;
triangle_mc.buttonMode = true;
triangle_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, pickupObject);

I'm trying to build a drag and drop quiz where you have a list of countries, and have to drag the correct country into a blank spot in a paragraph to correctly fill out the sentence (see attached). I can get the first country to drag and drop properly. But when I tried to code the second country in the list, I get the following error message: "1021 duplicate function definition" Following is my code:

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 startY:Number;

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?

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 know how to drag and drop one object but I am stumped on this one

I have been working with a very simple tutorial over at [URL], where you drag objects onto a target movieClip. My question is this, how do you target a movieClip inside a movie clip? What I have are 4 color squares that I want to drag and drop onto a pattern_mc. I put the target mc's with in the pattern_mc. In the tutorial the target mc's are not in a movie clip. I put my target mc's in a movieClip because I want to use the pattern_mc as a material, and I thought this was the correct way to this.
Code:
//record objects starting position
var startX:Number;
var startY:Number;
//activate objects to be moved
square1mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, pickUp);
square1mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, dropIt);

I am going to have what is essentially a grid of 12 boxes. 4 across 3 high. There will be an object in each box. What I want to do is to allow the user to drag an object from one box into another. This will cause the other objects in the boxes to move up one position to fill in the gap that is left by the object being dragged. I have no idea what this is called or so I don't know how to Google it.

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 want to create an interactive learning module that would use a simple drag and drop test. I've already browsed the net for guides and it led me to monkeyflash.com that gave me a very helpful guide. On the guide, there can only be one object be dragged to a target. But then, I wanted my test to have multiple objects (movie clips) be dropped on a single target (also a movie clip) only and stick to it. I'm thinking that I could place my draggable objects on an array, but I really had difficulty on executing this.
On the code below, a drag object can only be placed on one target only (i.e dragIn1 can only be dropped on targetdragIn1 but not on targetdragIn2). Yet, I want all dragAt objects be dragged on all targetAt, dragIn with targetIn, and dragOn with targetOn.

i've created a sprite to drag and drop around the stage. the sprite is masked and has it's mask as it's child so that it too will drag along with the sprite. everything works fine until i add a drop shadow filter to the sprite. when the drop shadow is added, i can only mousedown to drag and mouseup to drop the sprite if the mouse events occur within the original location of the sprite when it was added to the stage.
var thumbMask:Sprite = new Sprite();
thumbMask.graphics.beginFill(0, 1);
thumbMask.graphics.drawRoundRect(0, 0, 100, 75, 25, 25);

I have been trying to develop a drag and drop Mr. Potato Head type game for a couple of days now. I am new to AS3 and I have hit a roadblock that I was hoping someone out there could help me get through. My game has 3 separate menus (mouths, hats, and eyes).Each menu is a nested MC which has several dragable objects. Unfortunately, when I move to the next frame on the timeline the object I drug out resets itself and disappears. Is there any way to keep a dragable object on the stage once it has been placed there? I think my problem is more of a logic and structure issue with the way that I set up the game rather than an issue with actionscript.

im creating a small drag and drop game in AS3-
I have 4 objects and 4 targets,
I want to be able to drag any of the 4 objects onto any of the targets, right now all I can manage is to allow each object drop onto one specific target only.
I thought by calling all my target names by the same instance name eg target_mc that would work but only one target will ever work.

I have an object that gets attached to the stage everytime I click (like a side shooting game). What I want is the object to have a speed in a specific direction. I got it to work by the code-
Code:
if (total_bolt_no>0) {
var bolt_name="bolt"+total_bolt_no;
var bolt_n:Sprite=this.getChildByName(bolt_name) as heroweapon;
[Code].....
The problem that arises is that when I spawn another object the previous one becomes still. I tried using the for loop but everytime I click the angle also changes, thus changing the speed of all attached objects.

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.
