I’ll try to ask the question once more, since I did’nt explain the problem or show the whole code the last time.

Im creating a sort of knowledge game at a schoolproject, but have a problem now that I just could’nt solve by just reading.

I have 10 objects on the stage, 5 of those should be draggable objects and have a target object to be dragged to named the same as the object, only adding “target\_” first. So “objectA” should be dragged and dropped at “target\_objectA”. And the target objects have a rollover function inside that simply highlights the objects on rollover.  
But since the rollover functions does’nt work when the mouse is dragging something, I had to set the “mouseEnabled” to false. But then again, flash will not recognize my mouse\_up to run the “dropObject” function I’ve created, which drops the object at the position the mouse is at that time.

I just cant figure out what to do, and I need to keep the functions so that all dragobjects can run them, because later on I’m going to add alot more.  
How can I get the rollover, startdrag and stopdrag to work all together, and if so: how?

```php
//Imports and Stops
import caurina.transitions.*;
stop();

//Variables
var startX:Number;
var startY:Number;
var counterUp:Number = 0;
var counterDown:Number = 5;

//EventListeners
objectA.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, dragObject);
objectA.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, dropObject);
objectA.buttonMode = true;

objectB.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, dragObject);
objectB.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, dropObject);
objectB.buttonMode = true;

objectC.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, dragObject);
objectC.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, dropObject);
objectC..buttonMode = true;

objectD.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, dragObject);
objectD.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, dropObject);
objectD.buttonMode = true;

objectE.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, dragObject);
objectE.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, dropObject);
objectE.buttonMode = true;

//Functions
function dragObject(event:MouseEvent):void 
{
   event.target.startDrag(true);
   event.target.mouseEnabled = false;
   message_txt.text = "";
   startX = event.target.x;
   startY = event.target.y;
}

function dropObject(event:MouseEvent):void 
{
   event.target.stopDrag();
   var myTargetName:String = "target_" + event.target.name;
   var myTarget:DisplayObject = getChildByName(myTargetName);
   if (event.target.dropTarget != null && event.target.dropTarget.parent == myTarget)
   {
          message_txt.text = "Good, only " + counterDown + " object left to go!";
      event.target.removeEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, dragObject);
      event.target.removeEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, dropObject);
      event.target.buttonMode = false;
      event.target.parent.removeChild(event.target);
      event.target.x = myTarget.x;
      event.target.y = myTarget.y;
      counterUp++;
      counterDown--;
   }
   
   else
   {
       message_txt.text = "Try again! You have " + counterDown + " objects left!";
      Tweener.addTween(event.target,
      {x:startX, y:startY, time:1, transition:"easeIn"});
   }
      
   if(counterUp == 5)
   {
        gotoAndPlay(2)
    }
}

```
