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 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 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.

1. I created the dropzone script, in which has to be dynamic in size so that people can the tiles to design their floor board. Problem is, if the dropzones are too close to each other, the app has problems deciding where to drop the tile. (the tile floor is diagonal, imagine a diamond looking tile) I dont know what to do in order to securely place tiles where it shuld be... the dropzones are too close to each other..!the tile can either be full tile, 1/2 and 1/4 tile. How do I do this? I managed to get the drag n drop for full tile to work, but I dont know how can I do it with 1/2 or 1/4 tile. Should I split the dropzones into 4 sections? If I did, then I'll have a problem with full tile? For dropping let say, a pyramid-shaped tile onto a Full Tile would be very2 confusing
View 1 RepliesI'm trying to create an interactive game where multiple movieclips can be dragged onto a single target. I understand that the target and the movie clip have to have the same name, like "book_mc" has to have a target of "targetbook_mc", but is there another way to do this so that "book_mc" and "pencil_mc" can both have the same target?
View 4 Repliesi want to be able to drag and drop multiple objects. In this code the Encryption_mc doesnt return to its original position.it returns to the position of the Message_mc.any idea how i can return it to its original position?

View 1 RepliesI'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.

I have a very limited knowledge in actionscripting so this might be a simple question for the normal people
how do you drag and drop separate multiple objects at once?
I know how to drag and drop one object but I am stumped on this one
i want to improve my code for drag drop seven different or multiple objects to be moved in any three of target places then target value will be search by category or feature wise,[code]
View 3 RepliesI would like to drag and drop multiple objects and on collision activate/play a video clip.
View 3 RepliesI'm Trying to develop a small game where the user chooses from a range of boxes of the left of screen and can drag 3 of them separatley to 3 holding boxes on ther right. each box can be dragged to any location and the order is not important. Once the 3 holding boxes are all full I want a new button to appear. I completed a tutorial and I've got one box working perfectly but no matter what i try I can't get it working with multiple boxes and locations. Below is a list of the instance names of the movie clips plus my actionscript. I've attached a link to the flash file.

INSTANCE NAMES
box 1 = "circle_mc"
box 2 = "circle_mc2"
both the grey boxes are called = "targetCircle"

I'm making a Multiple Drag and Drop in Multiple Targets educational puzzle for 6-7 y/o kids that tries to teach them a bit about which plants grow in which environments in the country. So, I have a map of Mexico divided in 3 diferent zones: desert, forest and tropic, and 6 different plants (of 3 different groups: cacti, pines and tropical flowers, 2 of each) scattered across the stage and around the map. The goal is for the kids to drop the plants in the right zone and then to click a "verify" button that triggers a validation process. Each of the plant's movie clip has 2 frames with a stop(); action on each: the plant graphic spans across both frames and the second frame has a red error sign over the graphic that indicates an error has occured (if that's the case). Then the validation process triggered by the "verify" button is supposed to move the playhead of each wrongly placed plant move clip to the second frame to show which plants are misplaced and move the main timeline's playhead to a frame that contains a "Please try again" text and a "Restart Puzzle" button. If all the answers are right, an animation plays saying that it was VERY WELL DONE! .
I searched the internet for some tutorials and found a file that is pretty close to what I need. I've tried to adapt the code to my puzzle but have failed miserably. The file is here if you want to check it out (scroll to the bottom of the page, it's called Soldier.fla). I'm not pasting the code here because it's VERY long, but I will if required. If you want me to upload the files somewhere else and link them here, I will. If you need me to send them to you I'll be glad.
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 want to make an animation like this: when i drag "mc1" in the same time drag "mc2" what is the code for this?

Im trying to create a simple drag and drop app where you can drap a movieclip into multiple areas.This is the code i have so far (taken from a tutorial i found) thats works perfectly for 1 target but not for multiples. I initially tried giving the targets the same instance name but that didnt work.
stop();var startX:Number;var startY:Number;
square_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, pickUp);square_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, dropIt);
function pickUp(event:MouseEvent):void { square_mc.gotoAndStop (2); event.target.startDrag(true);

Is there a way to make an item, which can be draged onto the stage mulitple times? Like in making beats in music apps. You select a sample and drag it into the stage.
View 1 RepliesI'm having a problem find a solution to my drag and drop problem. Here is what this flash piece is basically supposed to do: 9 dragable items on the stage5 targets, numbers 1 - 5, where the items can be placed5 of the 9 dragable items are the correct answer and the user needs to drag them to the correct target, and have to be in order from 1-5. (eg. let's say the instructions are: Please place the, in the correct order, the 5 steps to getting ready in the morning.
Drag items Targets
Brush teeth 1.
Change oil in car 2.
Wash Face 3.
Put pants on 4.
Shower 5.
Get out of bed
Do tax's
So far I have it so if you drop the correct answer into its correct target it snaps to it and disable it's eventListeners. If you drop the drag item on the other targets they snap to it and disable it as well. They only problem is if the user accidentally drops the item anywheres else on the stage it locks it in place. Instead I want it to return to the original x and y position.
Here is my code
DragDrop.as
package{ import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
import flash.filters.DropShadowFilter;
public class DragDrop extends MovieClip {
public var _targetPiece:*;
public function DragDrop() {

I have 3 movieclips each containing an audio. These will be dragged and dropped on stage.However I need to be able to click a MC and have it "copy", or whatever, it self to be dragged so I can drag n' drop a mc multiple times.So for instance lets say I have 3 movieclips a_mc, b_mc and c_mc, on stage.In the area I want to drop them lets say I want to do thisa_mc, a_mc, c_mc, -or- b_mc,c_mc,c_mc etc... but still leaving a_mc, b_mc and c_mc in there original area.
View 4 RepliesWhen you make this draggable and droppable, the object automatically jumps to the cursor of the mouse, but at the location set at (0, 0)? Well, is there a way to counteract this, so if the mouse is over it and you click it you can still move it but the object will stay where it is relative to the mouse cursor? I'm using ActionScript 3.0 with Flash CS5
View 6 RepliesI'm using the script "drag & drop multiple targets", with the swapDepth enabled, making the last clicked item to come in front of all the clips on the board.So far, so good. But I have some of the draggers made up by small circles, stacked/glued together vertically (7 in a row) which make these new draggers taller than the majority. The problem is that when I try to drag and snap them, the bottom circle doesn't center into the middle of the dropping zone like the others. These new draggers center themselves with their vertical center into the center of the dragging zones.
I really need to have all these taller draggers centered themselves with the bottom cercle into the middle of the dropping targets, like the simple draggers made up by a single circle.Is there a way to work around, applying a rule to the chosen individual objects without specifically applying to the main script? I mean when you drop the item, forcing it to snap a little bit higher in relation with Y coordinate of the dropping zones.
ActionScript Code:
function dragSetup(clip, targArray) {
clip.onPress = function() {
startDrag(this); this.swapDepths(_root.getNextHighestDepth());

I've made a drag and drop quiz where you have to drag the labels to the right placeotherwise they just go back to where they were. That was easy enough. But now the bosses decided that they want it so you can get it wrong as well, which means multiple targets. My poor little brain cannot handle it! I've been looking at changing a variable with the target x and y on mouseover, but that just seems to stop the onRelease function.
View 1 Replies1. Need it to do: when the correct word is placed in the box, it stays there. Currently it disappears. I think this is because we are removing the child, but if we don't remove the child - it stays in all scenes and frames and interferes with being able to drop more words in the target box.
2. If you incorrectly guess, then correctly guess.. the incorrect guess is visible throughout the rest of the scenes and frames (this is a big one, i need this fixed somehow).
3. Not as important, but in order to make this work, I had to go into each scene and make sure all my variables were named differently then the other scenes. There must be a way around this.

I want to create a game in which you need to drag and drop three correct items to a target area. When all three correct items are dropped, the game should progress to the next part.I've tried searching for on this, but I don't know what exactly I should search for (ie what terms, keywords)

However, I forgot to mention that I need to drag more than one of these objects onto the same target and I don't know how to change the actionscript to accommodate this. Would anyone be able to help me with this? In the example below I would also like Blue2 to target targetBlue_mc Here is the code:
