Start drag with two movieclips

1

hi,

I’m working on a website where i wanna use hover captions (great tutorial btw kirupa).

The problem is i need 2 different size caption boxes. However flash seems to hate dragging 2 separate movieclips at the same time. Anyone know how to do it?

tried :

startDrag ( _root.caption, true);
startDrag ( _root.altcaption, true);

on the frame.

also tried putting them inside the movieclips etc…

Please help me!

cheers,

Kdzines

i figured out an alternative in case anyone has the same problem.

Basically i just used the code from the “follow mouse with easing” and then used an if statement to see if the variable was 1 or 0.

this makes a cool hover caption with easing (although if using pixel fonts - wouldn’t use easing).

There we go!

pardon my ignorance but I don’t see hover catptions with “easing” I see hover captions and I got mine to work just fine, but I’d like them to trail behind the mouse a bit like.

I decided it best to start this on a new thread so I deleted all my other posts to try to clean this thread up a bit.
