Hello. I’m new to the kirupa forums.

Here’s my issue. I have movie clips loading in dynamically using an XML file, and the duplicate movie clip function. I need to be able to select one of those movie clips, drag it to a desired position and have it snap to place.

As for right now, I’m using :

on(press){  
this.startDrag();  
}

on(release){  
this.stopDrag();  
}

This does allow me to drag, but how can I snap it to another position?

Thanks in advance!
