Hello everybody, I have this problem since many weeks ago, I can’t figure out how to resolve it. My partial code is:

[COLOR=Blue] function[/COLOR] checkCollision(rect) {  
[COLOR=Blue] for[/COLOR](j=0; j \< drop.length; j++) {  
temp2 = [COLOR=Blue]eval/COLOR;  
[COLOR=Blue] if[/COLOR]([COLOR=Blue]eval/COLOR == temp2){  
rect.[COLOR=Blue]\_x[/COLOR] = temp2.[COLOR=Blue]\_x[/COLOR];  
rect.[COLOR=Blue]\_y[/COLOR] = temp2.[COLOR=Blue]\_y[/COLOR];  
}  
[COLOR=Blue] else[/COLOR] {  
rect.[COLOR=Blue]\_x [/COLOR]= rect.origX;  
rect.[COLOR=Blue]\_y [/COLOR]= rect.origY;  
}  
}  
}

I send to the function a movie clip that I use for drag and drop, so when I drop this function is called. The problem is that of the three rectangles that I use for contain the others, only the last senses the drop target. I read the Canadian post of frequently asked questions, and one of the questions is very similar, but I can’t figure out how to apply it here. Any help please. Thanks
