I am having a lot of trouble with finalising the coding for a drag and drop quiz.

I’d like to get the submit button working so the scoring functionality works: so when certain objects are in the wright/wrong target area the results show the correct/incorrect message.

Any help is hugely appreciated.

Thanks.

Here is my current code and .fla file:

stop();  
import mx.transitions._;  
import mx.transitions.easing._;  
targetCount = 0;  
dragCount = 0;  
submitBtn.\_alpha = 40;  
submitBtn.enabled = false;

function dragSetup(clip, targArray) {  
clip.onPress = function() {  
startDrag(this);  
this.beingDragged = true;  
};  
clip.onRelease = clip.onReleaseOutside=function () {  
stopDrag();  
this.beingDragged = false;  
for (i=0; i\<targArray.length; i++) {  
targ = targArray\*;  
if (eval(this.\_droptarget) == targ) {  
this.myFinalX=targ.\_x  
this.myFinalY=targ.\_y  
this.onTarget = true;  
\_root.targ.\_alpha = 30;  
break;  
} else {  
this.onTarget = false;  
\_root.targ.\_alpha = 0;  
}  
}  
};  
//the variables below will store the clips starting position  
clip.myHomeX = clip.\_x;  
clip.myHomeY = clip.\_y;

```
clip.myFinalX = 0;
clip.myFinalY = 0;
clip.onEnterFrame = function() {
    //all these actions basically just say "if the mouse is up (in other words - the clip is not being dragged)
    // then move the MC back to its original starting point (with a smooth motion)"
    if (!this.beingDragged && !this.onTarget) {
        this._x -= (this._x-this.myHomeX)/5;
        this._y -= (this._y-this.myHomeY)/5;
        //if the circle is dropped on any part of the target it slides to the center of the target
    } else if (!this.beingDragged && this.onTarget) {
        this._x -= (this._x-this.myFinalX)/5;
        this._y -= (this._y-this.myFinalY)/5;
    }
};

```

}  
allTargets = new Array(target1, target2, target3, target4);  
dragSetup(object1\_mc,allTargets);
