Drag 'n' drop question

programming flash
1

hi im making this thing and i want to make this thing move by dragging it (i can do that already) but i want it so you go to the next keyframe and the object will be in the same place as you draged it.

any help??

maybe you could get the x and y-position and save it into a variable in your first frame, like this:

[AS]on (release) {
stopDrag();
_root.varx = _root.yourmc._x;
_root.vary = _root.yourmc._y;
nextFrame();
}
[/AS]

then you can read the variables in the second frame and change the x and y-position of your dragged object

[AS]
_root.yourmc._x; = _root.varx
_root.yourmc._y; = _root.vary
[/AS]

wow it works but i wanted so you go to frame 2 and then you take off the script but when i take off the script from frame 2 it just goes back to it’s normal location can you help me?

ps. sorry if dont make sense i rushed for time sorry

5

you take off the script?

6

GOD IM NOT THAT DUMB!!!

i have tried that but when i take off the script the object goes back to the starting off possition when you go to the next frame

7

no, i don’t know what that means… do you delete the script? why?

8

i got a object in two frames but in the first frame i leave evrything the same but in the second frame i take of the actionscript from the object and it goes back to it starting place

if you still dont understand ask me for the fla

9

without the actionscript it goes back to its place, of course
but why do you take off the actionscript

10

o poo poo i forgot to tell you i want it so you cannot drag it no more once your in frame 2

11

now i understand, well, you have to leave the script, but you’re using 2 different frames, so why don’t you just delete the startdrag action in your button

12

becouse when you take that bit off it goes back to it’s original place

13

o did you say button doesit matter if its not a button?

14

mm, could you give me the fla

15

i could give you this fla i just made up and you could edit it?

press space to drop it

16

i gave your boxes the instance “box”, you forgot the second part of the AS in your frame, and I have deleted the actions on your mc in the second frame. I also added the AS to your arrow, so you don’t have to drop it first…
