see [http://www.umbc.edu/interactive/fla/presstodraw.swf](http://www.umbc.edu/interactive/fla/presstodraw.swf) [http://www.umbc.edu/interactive/fla/presstodraw.fla](http://www.umbc.edu/interactive/fla/presstodraw.fla) did it back in Flash 5 but the same concept applies to MX (and is now easier by just setting a variable). as you can tell, other button methods are envoked in other buttons which are not the “current” button. Otherwise they are ignored - ie if you press on a button and drag on another button, normally it has no reaction but track as menu allows that reaction hense the ability for setups like these to click and drag to draw instead of click click click etc 🙂 ---

Ok… so this is my final modification to the entry 🙂 you have to press ‘save’ now once youre done drawing. There was a bug in saving the imae when the same footer is being displayed more than a single time (like in this thread). The save button luckily fixes it :beam: have fun! :beam: [Previous page](https://forum.kirupa.com/t/ahmed/20277.md?page=1) [Next page](https://forum.kirupa.com/t/ahmed/20277.md?page=3)
