Hi,

First of all, i’m not into ActionScript, I know how to use Flash for animating but never really got into it save from simple stuff like “stop” or “gotoAndPlay”. Right now I’m trying to make a Drag and Drop toy-like-movie where you have multiple Movieclips which you can move them around as well as rotate them.

I was trying to achieve this using this code:

on (press) {  
startDrag(this, true);  
}  
on (release) {  
stopDrag();  
}  
on (keyPress “\<Right\>”) {  
this.\_rotation += 15;  
}

However, when i have the Clip duplicated, it only affects that one. I tried using a “rollOver” and then an If Statement so the rotation would work on the CLip i put my mouse over, like so:

on (rollOver) {  
if (Key.isDown(Key.RIGHT)) {  
this.\_rotation += 15  
}  
}

Yet it dosen’t work. What can i do? Is there a way to force multiple “onEvents”?

Thanks in advance,

JRRC.
