drag problem

[ggogis]

i have a button that i am dragging to a draggable area target. i want there to be an image change (like a mouse over) when the dragged object is hovering over the target area but it isnt working. ive tried a drag over event and i have tried using script for "when this object is over this target...." but that didnt work either. any thoughts?


thanks

You could always to a hittest. Make the target area a movieclip and give it an instance name, also, make the button a movieclip as well and give that an instance name

Now on the target area moveclip place the following code

onClipEvent(enterframe){
if (this.hitTest(_root.buttoninstance)){
// Do your stuff
}
}


This is probably a bad way of going about what your trying to accomplish so hopefully someone will help you out better then I

Anyways, good luck

hey that worked...now how do i turn that off when they either let go or drag out of that area?

thanks!

Glad it did

To make it so something else happens (key word, else) then add the following to the code I gave you

onClipEvent(enterframe){
if (this.hitTest(_root.buttoninstance)){
// Do your stuff
} else
// Do your other stuff
}
}
