Gidday,

I haven’t touched Flash for a long long time and I’m trying to develop a drag and drop movie similar in vein to the example from the tutorials page on this site - 'cept it’s letters and objects.

Problem is even with embedded buttons in movies the movie refuses to be moved around the screen - even though it recognises the presence of a button under the movie clip.

Code follows…

on (press) {  
startDrag ("\_root.smileBut");  
}  
on (release) {  
stopDrag ();  
if (\_root.smileBut.\_droptarget == “/squareMov”) {  
\_root.squareBut.gotoandStop(“yellow”);  
}  
}

BTW How on Jehovas green earth do you embed / nest frames within frames?

Anyone, anyone at all.
