Hello,

I have 2 problems related to drag and drop. Here’s the scenario. I have a red mc that can be dragged into 6 different slots ( each is a mc). When Red hits one of the drop targets, it will snap into that slot. The 6 slots are inside of a mc called circle. I have it set this way because the circle is movable and I want the slots to move with it. Here comes the 2 problems.

1: When Red snaps into a slot, it seemingly disappears. If you maximize the window, what is actually happening is that it moves off the stage and out of sight. I think that has to do with the fact that the slots are inside the circle mc, but I’m not sure.

2: Once that is fixed and Red stays snapped inside a slot, I want to be able to move the circle and have Red stay in the slot its snapped to.

Here is the code, and I also attached the .fla file. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

```
