Dragging Buttons and Movie Clips

[Scott_Holley]

I've been having a rough time getting an object on my stage to drag. I'm not sure the proper way to do this, can anyone enlighten me?

[toony]

make sure the object is a movie clip then right click on it down to actions and enter this sript:

onClipEvent (mouseDown) {
startDrag ("", true);
}
onClipEvent (mouseUp) {
stopDrag ();
}



Hope that helps

You might need to make sure the mouse was pressed over the movie clip in the mouseDown event

onClipEvent(mouseDown) {
if (this.hitTest(_root._xmouse,_root._ymouse,true)) {
startDrag("",true);
}
}

BTW toony, the little red ninja stuff is looking good
I haven't forgotten spacecadets though, i've been working on it today I just changed my server to apache
