Hi everyone,
I have some images in a flash movie I would like to be dragable. Can someone give me a step by step of how this is done. Please:smirk:
I understand it’s quite simple in Flash MX — I’ll need to upgrade one day.:elderly:

[AS]on (press){
this.startDrag();
}
on (release, releaseOutside){
this.stopDrag();
}[/AS]
Something like that oughta do it 😉
If you are using a button, it must be inside a movieclip symbol otherwise it will drag the whole stage.
There are of course, other various ways to do the same.
