}
}
<b>-----------------------------------------------
And so on for 6 cards.

I wont to beable to trigger an event when all 6 cards are in there corect place's for example (goto frame 2 and stop) or (get url"game2.html)

can any one help????</b>:confused:

First of all try and paste your code in using [ as ]...[ /as ] tags (without spaces).

What you need is a flag for each of your cards to tell you whether it's in the right place or not and then call a function to check if every card is placed correctly. So do something like this for each card

code:

---

//Card 1

on (press) {

    startDrag(this);

    this.swapDepths(100);

}

on (release) {

    stopDrag();

    if (this._droptarget=="/shadow1") {

        this._x = 124;

        this._y = 154;

        _root.check1 = true;

    } else {

        this._x = 600;

        this._y = 154;

        _root.check1 = false;

    }

    _root.checkcards();

}

---

Then this is your check function on the _root

code:

---

function checkcards() {

    var numCards = 6;

    var i = 1;

    var onewrong = false; //assume all

    while(i <= numCards && !onewrong) { //go through each card check flag

        if(!_root["check" + i]) { //if this flag is false

            onewrong = true; //this card is not placed so abandon loop

        }else{

            i++; //card is in place, move onto next card

        }

    }

    if(!onewrong) { //if onewrong is still false, all must be correct

        gotoAndStop(2); //They've done it!

    }

}

---

Thanks that has dun the job the only problem is the last card that is placed remaines visable on frame 2 any idears???

I have alredy incromented _root.check1 = statment....

That's because you are using setInterval. A quick workaround would be

code:

---

if(!onewrong) {

    for(var i=1; i<=numCards; i++) {

        this["card" + i]._visible = false;

    }

    gotoAndStop(2);

}

---

Assuming all your cards are named card1, card2, card3 etc

Rock and Role you roule thanks loadsss....


Can you recomen a good flash book?

Well, there's nothing I've needed that I haven't been able to find in the Help docs, Flashkit or Macromedia site. There's plenty of other good sites to help you out too, such as kirupa.com. If you feel the need to spend money though I'd recommend ActionScript for Flash MX: Definitive Guide by Colin Moock. There's a list of other books here:
