I built a similar game, where you click on something and it moved to a set position. Instead of making buttons for everything, I cheated and used invisible buttons(draw only the hit frame). Heres the code for the button:
on (release) {
setProperty(this.instance, _x, “x value”);
setProperty(this.instance, _y, “y value”);
}

To find X and Y for the object I just put the object where I want it to go and take the values from the Property panel. Hope it helps.

I’m sorry for the delay but i had internet problems but how could i i set it so it does more than 1 version of those becuase it think sim theme park spin off would be kinda boring if you could only have 1 of each ride/shop.

Try something like this:

You could still have invisible buttons. Somewhere on your interface you choose what ride/booth you want to place. So, let’s say you choose a pizza shop. Have a variable called newattraction or something.

So you click on the pizza shop and it is now newattraction = “pizzashop”. In your library, obviously you have a movieclip called “pizzashop” or something. (remember to Link it for actionscript) Now, when you have this variable equal to “pizzashop” or whatever, when you click on the screen, spawn a new instance of the attraction you chose, and place it at the location of the invisiblebutton that you clicked.

That’s how I would do it anyways.
