ok…
I’m trying to use drag and drop in conjunction with loading external .swf’s, i.e. when I drag an object to the target and drop it, an swf will pop up in a designated area. How can I modify the drag and drop code used in the example([http://www.kirupa.com/developer/actionscript/dragdrop.htm](http://www.kirupa.com/developer/actionscript/dragdrop.htm)) in order to do this? Also, how would I unload the movie when it’s finished playing?
I know that in the example when the user drops the yellow paintbrush onto the computer, the code tells it to go to the “yellow” frame label in the computer’s timeline. can I modify this statement to make the result anything I want (like loadMovie??)
I’m new at this…
Thank you!!!

to Unload it once it’s done playing:
in the last frame [AS]this.unloadMovie();[/AS]
do you have an FLA that you have started?

Something like this:[AS]on (press) {
startDrag ("\_root.yellow");
}
on (release) {
stopDrag ();
if (\_root.yellow.\_droptarget == “/computer”) {
//choose one of the following options
loadMovieNum(“yourmovie.swf”,1000);//if you want to load into level
container\_mc.loadMovie(“yourmovie.swf”);//if you want to load into a empty movie clip
}
}
[/AS]
