howdy pkmnpeter,

difficult to guess, in this case, without seeing the scripts. you may be correct that a boolean needs toggling.

Can you attach the .fla to a reply in this thread? Posting the .fla allows everyone to see what you are describing, likely resulting in a more rapid solution. (The "attach file" option is at the bottom of the reply panel.)

If the .fla file is too large to attach, can you zip it up? Maybe create a dummy copy of the fla ("Save as" with different name) and remove large sound files and images, then attach the stripped-down fla here...

...or, can you at least post the parts of the script that are moving the red circle?

btw - seeing the word "urgent" in a title usually results in me not opening a thread; i was just curious today how it is that a post becomes "urgent" (and i still do not see evidence of 'urgency' - suggest dropping that word from thread titles; unless you're on a deadline, with a mega-client - but then expect me to ask for a cut of the profits!)

Here is the flash file

why is the user dragging the circle?
what will dragging the circle result in?

as far as getting the circle to stay in the inventory area: the solution that works best for you depends on why (and when) the user will drag the red circle.

as you have it scripted now, the circle clip will sit and monitor the mouse events forever. this is not necessary, unless the red circle is to be the main interactive element on the screen.

try replacing the red circle script with this:

on (press) {
	this.startDrag();
}
on (release) {
	this.stopDrag();
	//here, you could write a conditional (if/then) statement to test if the 
	//clip is being dropped over the inventory area; either use x/y ranges or 
	//make the inventory area a clip itself and use hitTest
}

the user is dragging the ball to become part of the inventory for further actions to be caried out

here's something to work with, at least. test it first to see the effect, then check out the script attached to the red circle. i stripped most of the graphics out of this file, to keep the file size down (to go easy on the FlashKit server); so, you'll just want to copy/paste anything you decide to use...

[pkmnpeter]

thats really good if you have anything else game related pls post it and that would be good

(use the 'user cp' button near top of page to open the control panel, then you'll see the private messages option)
