Is it possible to designate an area for a draggable movie clip to “snap” back to when a button within said movieclip is pressed? For example, I have a drag and drop function, in which the user drags a small movieclip to a target and upon dropping, it expands. Within the expanded movie clip is a button to “close” the clip to it’s original size. At this time, ideally, I would like the clip to return to the original size AND go back to the area on the stage where it started from, outside of the target. Any recommendations?
