Code translation please

Well, this is basically a drag and drop routine if you need to check something while dragging.

To break it down:

code:

---

on(press){

	startDrag(this);

//This creates a function watch for onMouseMove events.  That means whenever the

//mouse is moved, whatever is inside of this function will occur.

this.onMouseMove = function(){

//For now, it is your hittest, however, you add as much code as you like in this statement.

	if(_root.pin.hitTest(_root.balloon)){



		_root.balloon.balloon2.gotoAndPlay("popped");



	}



}



}







on(release){



	stopDrag();

//Setting this.onMouseMove to undefined is erasing whatever checks were set up in

//onPress statement.



this.onMouseMove = undefined



	}

I've used something like this for mouse based games before.

Ok, I think I understand that now. But I have one more question. Now I am trying to make a pin pop many balloons. my popped balloons have an animation for when they are popped. I found with this script I could pop a balloon, but if i kept moving the mouse, it would restart the animation. I corrected that by adding a

delete this.onMouseMove;

it worked for one MC.
now I have 4 balloons, when I pooped one, it would delete the onMouseMove so I could not pop any more.
I figured I would add the this.onMouseMove = function(); to the top of each if statement to see if it would work. now it will only pop the last balloon in my if statement.
I'm out of ideas......
here is what I have. (probably no very good)

on(press){
	Mouse.hide();
	startDrag(this, true);
this.onMouseMove = function(){
	if(_root.pin.hitTest(_root.r_balloon)){
		_root.r_balloon.gotoAndPlay("popped");
		delete this.onMouseMove
	}
	}
	this.onMouseMove = function(){
	if(_root.pin.hitTest(_root.b_balloon)){
		_root.b_balloon.gotoAndPlay("popped");
		_root.b_balloon._visible = false;
		delete this.onMouseMove
	}
	}
	this.onMouseMove = function(){
	if(_root.pin.hitTest(_root.g_balloon)){
		_root.g_balloon.gotoAndPlay("popped");
		delete this.onMouseMove
	}
	}
	this.onMouseMove = function(){
	if(_root.pin.hitTest(_root.p_balloon)){
		_root.p_balloon.gotoAndPlay("popped");
		delete this.onMouseMove
		}
            }
}
on(release){
	stopDrag();
this.onMouseMove = undefined
	}
