Hi All,

I really need some help here :crying:. Am just a begineer with Actionscript but am picking up quite quickly. I been racking my brains and can’t seem to find a solution. Basiaclly I’ve got 5 movieclips on the stage which are draggable. How can i get a message to appear in a text box if the first movieclip is moved higher than the second movie clip? Any ideas anyone?

Thanx Guys,
