hmm
I dont understand the problem fully. I had to do a few things to make it work.
1. Buttons do not have a \_droptarget property.
Change circle\_mc to a movieclip and put your code into frame 1 of the clip in this form…
function onPress() {
this.startDrag(false);
}
function onRelease() {
this.stopDrag();
if (this.\_droptarget==“whatever”)
doWhatever();
}
1. If you trace(this.\_droptarget) you will find that it is not “\rec\_mc” but instead…"\rec\_mc\rec\_mc" . Very strange. I don’t know why flash does this, but I fixed it by using rec\_mc as a movie clip instead of a graphic (which was what you had it as). Then trace(this.\_droptarget) outputs “\rec\_mc”.
2. I couldn’t get the code gotoAndPlay(“Scene 2”, 1) to work from anywhere except the main timeline. So… put it in a function like this on frame one.
function doWhatever()
{
gotoAndPlay(“Scene 2”, 1);
}
These are out-of-the-ordinary problems, and I would blame flash not you. The \_droptarget property is from Flash 4, and its kind of a pain to use slash notation in MX. As for the scene change problem, thats just inexcusable. You would think a movieclip could tell the maintimeline to switch scenes. Oh well.

I’ve responded a few times to this througout the night. Most of the time I was at work. I know that you can use hitTest to do what you want to acomplish. The hitTest tut here is from Flash 5 and I knew that it had changed. Everything that I thought would work, didn’t. If anyone could tell me why I couldn’t use this line of code, please tell me, it’s killin’ me!!
[AS]
onClipEvent(enterFrame){
if(this.hitTest(\_root.brown)){
\_root.textbar=“hit”}
else{
\_root.textbar=""}
}
[/AS]
I saw some tuts that said to do it just like that, but I must be missing something (probably with levels). The attached has a working hitTest on it in dot syntax, but it puts the draggable movieClip in a different level. Boo!!
Here’s the tut that showed me the way. I didn’t go much further because it’s 3:52am, tired…

earlier flash versions wont have some commands, and the notation is different (dots or slashes)
other than that i dont think command should behave any differently in different versions.

clownstaples:
Yeah, the .fla works. The only thing I don’t like is the layers/levels, but I know I can fix that. Can you see what’s wrong with the code that I typed out above? Cause that doesn’t work and it’s bummin’ me out…
