Hi,
I’m trying - and failing to get a movie to advance to a new frame when one movie is correctly dragged over another movie.
The enclosed code roughly allows me to drag/drop/report drop location/ return to starting point if not dropped over an element…and thats about it.
The last thing I’d like it to do is to acknowledge the right answer by moving to a new frame. Any ideas?
Code follows…
onClipEvent (mouseDown) {
xorigin = _root._xmouse;
yorigin = _root._ymouse;
if (this.hitTest (_root._xmouse, _root._ymouse, true)) {
this.startDrag();
}
}
onClipEvent (mouseUp) {
_root.drop = _droptarget; // sends the address of whatevers under the box to the text box (created as a dynamic text box)
this.stopDrag();
// this code returns the dragged object to the place it started if the object listed - apple, is not the right answer
if (_root.drop == “/apple”) {
if (_root._xmouse > _root._X) {
this._x = xorigin;
this._y = yorigin;
}
} else {
this._x = eval (_root.drop)._x; //coverts string stored in droptarget to an object reference
this._y = eval (_root.drop)._y; //coverts string stored in droptarget to an object reference
// the following code is where I’m looking for inspiration - when droptarget = /Lamb goto new frame(Yes) - it doesn’t.
if (_root.drop == “/Lamb”) {
root.lamb.gotoandstop(“Yes”);
}
}
}
