Drag and Drop to grid with Snap to and Text Handles

Hi Everybody,

I’m tackling a new project and I can’t figure out where to start! The app allows the user to drag images from a libray onto a grid and position the elements within the grid. The user can also drag textfields which can be edited and resized.

The grid needs to have some sort of snap-to, to make it easier for the user to line up the elements. And then I need to create resize handles around both the editable text fields and the other mc’s. Has anyone seen a tutorial or can anyone help me with?

  1. Drag and drop with a snap to grid
  2. Resize handles for mc’s, and inparticular textfields

In the end, I need to be able to track all of the x and y’s of the elements on stage and then be able to rebuild their layout when it is loaded in a subsequent session. I’m sure this is going to be difficult. What do you think?
