Dragging 2 objects at once? how?

[Spin1001]

Hey there.

I am currently designing an interactive map and there is a vertical linear element which is draggable. Easy enough, but the part I am having trouble with is that I want to simultaneously drag a mask which reveals what is beneath it while dragging. Is there a simple way to do this?

Any help appreciated! thanks!

you cannot 'drag' two movieclips at one time.

what you need to do is make a 'faux drag' as follows:

have two movieclips, one to control, one to be dragged.
put this code on the control clip:

onClipEvent(mouseMove){
//30 and 10 are your offsets, to put the clip down and to the right of the mouse cursor
_root.clipToBeDragged._x=_root._xmouse+30;
_root.clipToBeDragged._y=_root._ymouse+10;
}

and that's it.

hope this helps
