Thanks for telling about those links I apreciated but it’s not exactly what I wanted or may be I’m just an amature and I don’t understand alot of Action script but If you could download this example of what I’m doing “test” and tell me what I’m doing wrong please

You can test for a certain area with the \_droptarget property… That will pick up whether or not a dragged object has been dropped in a specific zone. You can also pull data from \_x and \_y…

I’ll have a look at the .fla in a minute, see what’s going on.

here you go i just created a draggable movie clip instead of using a button, i dont use buttons i dislike em and i put all of the action on 1 layer so you dont have to wander through the fla to find actions :beam:

check it out

is this what you wanted??
