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] ---

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 ---

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… ---
