Hi and happy new year, I’m trying to create an inventory for a point and click style game. I want to click and drag an object into a inventory box to be stored until it’s required (however the object is also bigger than the box and so I think it needs to be re-scaled).  
I’ve sort of nearly got it working but it’s still not right.

here’s the code I’m currently using:

mc1.onPress = function(){  
this.startDrag();  
};  
mc1.onRelease = function(){  
if (this.hitTest(box1) == true){  
this.\_xscale = 40;  
this.\_yscale = 40;  
this.stopDrag();  
}else{  
if (this.hitTest(box1) == false){  
this.\_xscale = 100;  
this.\_yscale = 100;  
this.stopDrag();

I’ve also tried replacing the lines with \_xscale/\_yscale with:  
this.\_x = box1.\_x;  
this.\_y = box1.\_y;

Any help would be appreciated
