Dragging and dropping objects involves....dragging and dropping objects. The objects are movie clips, and this tutorial extends upon simply dragging a movie clip. Unlike dragging an object, you are dropping the object in a location that will trigger an event. The location that you drop the object in is a movie clip as well, and you will learn in this tutorial how to trigger an event based upon the location an object was dropped.
