i can’t see the fla here:)  
but try to use the x and y coodinates to find how many grey boxes in the green box.  
example: if a grey box’ \_x value, between 100 and 200, it returns true for a variable.

this solution can be improve;)

the fla file cant upload , error here. but it is like i have 1 big box n 4 small box. i want to drag the small box to the big box.

i put code which can drag n count time it click, but if i put all this code in the small box it just can count until 1 for me cos i just click once for each small box. i want it can count how many small box i put in the big box. do u think can i put on(release) to big box n copy the small box code to the big box , will this count for me ??

later will have go btn for user to click n will acoording the count n telltarget to which movieclip.

i dunno how to try ur’s idea which with x y coordinate.

are you using startDrag or - just cilck than copy to the big box?

if the big box’s x values are between 100 and 200 , your code on the small box should be like this,

on(release){  
if(this.\_x\>100 && this.\_x\<200){  
\_root.count++  
}  
}
