Hi, basically, i/m in the process of designing my online portfolio / CV, any hows… i’ve seen something that has inspired me! and its totaly amazing in concept ! I have no idea how its done, maybe someone could help me tear this one appart… [this is the josh davis site… experimental drag and drop](http://www.joshuadavis.com/portfolio_web/web_2002/drag%20and%20drop%20-%20prototype/bpr/) what i am trying to do is work out how to creat this drag and drop menu? i understand how to get something to be dragged and dropped, BUT i cannot work out the “logic” statements in the AScipt to make it work out where it is, and to "expand untill its at the right size ? i think essentially its a great method to allow user interaction in the most imple yet most effective manner… anyhows, please have a look and please get back to me with some ideas of how to tackle this thing ? cheers Ket ---

Pretty cool effect ! i think it’d make a grate interface ! The parts which most interst me are: 1. the actual drag and drop…the fact that you drag one project to the stage/area, and the loaded project “tweens back” to its original place ? 2. the way in which the “project” loads into the box… i.e drop it nearer the bottom of the "taget ", the top expands quicker than the bottom and sides ? 3. the ascript for Making it go back Ok forum people ! Lets have it ! someone’s got to have an idea how to get round this ? Ket ---

Hmm I’m trying a little experiment here, I have to change it so than when the button is dropped on the area it increases smoothly in the x and y scale, then when the other button is clicked, it goes back like it does now. Heres so far ---
