dragging an mc and having something else move around the stage

[nailz]

Hello
I have a movie clip with a small image of a map and a movie clip within this one that has a rectangle to move over the map. This is set up to drag constraining to a rectangle so it stays within the small map clip. I need to have a large version of the map on the main timeline under the thumbnail that moves around according to where the user drags the focusing rectangle over the small map.

Is this possible and if so what's the best way to do it?

thanks

hello,
The easiest way that comes to my mind is to make a duplicate of the big map and a duplicate of the big rectangle inside. and resize (scale) these into the "small map". The constrain should be the same for both rectangle (+200, -200 etc.) . set the _x and _y as global variable example:
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
_root.checkx= this._x;
_root.checky= this._y;
}

And now on the big rectangle this:
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
this._x = _root.checkx;
this._y = _root.checky;
}

You can put both vars on _root to check the positions.
hope this helps
