Scenario: On my stage are 4 movie clips (lucy, nike, jd, upfront). I also have 12 hotspots that I can drag the clips onto. The play button, when pressed, plays the movie clips in the order that I have placed them onto hotspots.

Problem: Once a clip is dropped onto a hotspot, it can’t be moved to a new hotspot. Well, it can be moved, but the play order doesn’t change to reflect the move.

Hopeful solution: I would like to be able to move the clips around the stage, drop them on hotspots and rearrange them, then when I have finally decided on a final play order, be able to save the order so that when I press the play button, it will play the clips in that order.

Is something Shared object can do? Thanks.
