No, I managed to find someone on Odesk who has been doing bits and pieces for me. Thanks.

Thanks! Now I'm getting these errors:

C:\Users\Joe\Documents\Flash\Map.as, Line 17 1120: Access of undefined property red1.

Ok, have done that. Now getting this error:
DragDrop.as, Line 10 1084: Syntax error: expecting identifier before this.

Line 10: var this:DisplayObject;

And also these errors:

I've got a problem with some drag and drop work I am doing.

These are the error messages:

I found someone on Odesk to do this for me.

I'm attaching the fla file in case anyone else wants to know how to do this.

This is my version of that tutorial:

Thanks, I will try and duplicate it all in frame 2 and see if it still works.

Yes, that is the course I am currently working on. I would like to basically use that same drag and drop but have more...

Thanks jkell. I am working my way through the Lynda.com stuff. I watched the intro to Flash CS and now am doing the Actionscript 3.0 series.So far these two haven't addressed the issue of managing...

I'm just starting out with Flash and am creating a few little things. So far I've been building them on the main stage/Scene 1.

Now that they are getting a bit more complex I see this isn't the...

Thanks but I'm now getting this error:
Map.as, Line 22 1084: Syntax error: expecting identifier before this.
For this line: currentObject.this = getChildByName(currentObject.name + "_target");

I've just started learning about classes and Flash in general.

I created a little Flash file that used classes and all was working well.

But then I decided I wanted to move all of what I'd done...

I'm not really sure what would cause the overlap in terms of size. The objects (is that the right word?) are 155 x 69 pixels in terms of size.

I have uploaded my rough file if you want to have a...

I'm learning Flash and Actionscript as I have some fairly simple drag and drop type 'games' I want to make.

I'm working through the Lynda.com stuff and have a couple of book.

I've made a start...

I'm using CS6 on Windows 7 and am new to Flash. When I'm working in the actions window (F9) and I do an alt-tab to switch to another window like Notepad or Firefox etc, then I do an alt-tab to return...

Thanks, can you point me in the right direction for finding the AS for that?

Would I be setting the numbers here with min and max values?:
food.x = Math.random()*450;
food.y = Math.random()*350;...

Thanks, I will have a look.

I should point out that I still need that in random positions, despite being placed on a grid.

Thanks for the reply (again)!

I've since been working through the Lynda.com AS videos and have learned a little more since I posted.

I would like to have 8 (for example) objects (movie clips)...

Thanks for the reply.

There would be about 6-8 objects I want to place on the stage so a timer, like you say, might be too intensive.

Is there a way I could use a grid type system and assign...

I'm using AS 3 and Flash CS 6.

I'm using this code to randomly place movie clips from the library in a container on the stage:

var container:Sprite = new Sprite();
addChild(container);...

I would like to display a single character from a list of possible characters on the stage.

I would like Flash to randomly choose one character from the list to display.

I'm totally new to AS...
