I'm facing another problem, this time I wan't to move a object around inside a shape.The red/orange rectangle is the supposed to be dragged around inside the gray shape,the rectangle shouldn't ever be outside the shape.
View 5 RepliesI have 4 shapes which fit into 4 boxes and would like to modify my code so when a shape is placed in the correct box a movie clip appears e.g. if a triangle is placed into a triangle shape the movieclip for triangle appears. if the shape is placed into the wrong box a message appears saying try again.
View 9 RepliesI have a relatively simple drag and drop function. When the target is hit, the shape stays on it. Otherwise, it goes back to its original place.
ActionScript Code:
square_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, pickUp);
square_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, dropIt);
function pickUp(event:MouseEvent):void {
event.target.startDrag(true);
event.target.parent.addChild(event.target);
[Code] .....
The slide function is supposed to bring the shape back to its origin (passx and passy are the coordinates), through an Enterframe event. It works fine, but it only works once. And if I drop the shape, if I pick it up again, it's impossible to "cancel" this action (which means the shape keeps going back to the origin). I tried removeEventListener but no luck.
I have created a Box component and inside it I have more then 2-3 labels placed. I need to drag the whole box component and move to different place at canvas. Technically Box type is a container type but I need to keepit all the labels inside and want to move it. Is there any way we can do that? UPDATED : Can we create any external component that allow us to drag the main box?
View 1 RepliesI'm migrating from as2 to as3 and have a problem. I have a movieclip called papel_ilus which has loaded images inside with text and stuff. I found a Drag And Drop code that constrains the movement of the _x axis and have targeted the papel_ilus movieclip. However, when I click the images inside they are dragged separately from the whole movieclip I targeted and everything is a mess. Is there a way to drag the whole "pack" as one? Here is the code I'm using:
Code:
import flash.geom.Rectangle;
var leftY:int = 0;

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.

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 1 RepliesURL...I'm wondering if it's possible to confine the mouse's location, on drag, to the shape it is dragging so that when the dragged shape stops at the boundary, it's not possible to continue to drag the cursor away from the shape (until the mouse is released).

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]
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?
