All you need to do is find out which target the apple was on:

if (this.hitTest(_root["target"+j]))

and use that value of j to set that particular element of the array back to false(which allows the apple (or another one) to be put back there):

taken[j] = false;

Just that inside a simple do loop which increments j each time:

do {
j++;
....
} while(j<16)

Where would I put the do loop?

in the onPress

Hmm, just went to lunch, came back...I am now Lost. I think I am just gonna give up on this part of the script. Thanks for all the help guys.

Ah, jeez louise, this should be your onPress:

ref.onPress = function() {
  startDrag(this, false, 0, 0, Stage.width, Stage.height);
  j=0;
  checkVal = false;
  do {
    j++;
    if (this.hitTest(_root["target"+j])) {      
      taken[j] = false;
      checkVal = true;
    }
  }while(j < 16 && !checkVal)
};

Ok?

Look, its still not working for me. Those damn apples are always able to be in the same targets.

At my end you can't drag two apples onto the same target

Your FLA is as far as I have gotten before. Sometimes after dragging out of a previously placed apple, it puts the apple at 0x 0y references. Sometimes, it even lets 2 apples inside after one has left.
Like I said, this is seriously very complicating. You are obviously more skilled in this topic than me, and yet your FLA is as far as I have got. I am just going to abandon this part of the work.

My apologies, I hadn't tested it extensively enough
