Hi there,

I’m trying to slide a button over a certain area - and on that happening have my movie go to a new part of the time line. I’m currently using the code:

slider\_btn.onRelease = function(){  
stopDrag();  
If (this.\_droptarget == mc\_screen.mc\_slider.green\_box)  
\_root.gotoAndStop(2);  
}

The problem is that with this code, the stopDrag doesnt work at all, and if I release the mouse anywhere (not over “green\_box”) I’m returned to \_root, keyframe 2.

If I remove the code: \_root.gotoAndStop(2); the stopDrag works again, but obviously I’ve lost the \_droptarget functionality.

Can anyone help, its driving me nuts!!

Thanks, J.
