Drag & Drop doesn't work well in CS6

[angelhdz]

Hey guys! I installed Adobe Master Collection CS6 today, only for Flash CS6, and I was about to keep working in my game...but weirdly all my draggable buttons are crazy!

In CS3 and CS5 , my game works perfectly, but not in CS6. You drag any movieclip with X coordinates locked to an empty movieclip's width, and It drags X and Y!!! My movieclips are supposed to be dragged horizontally only.

This is my code:

ladder.onPress=function(){
    this.startDrag(false, contenedor._width );
    
}
ladder.onRelease=function(){
    this.stopDrag();
    
}

What's new ( or changed, bah! ) in Flash CS6? Thanks

Maybe you need to specify all parameters?

this.startDrag(false, contenedor._width, this._y, ???, this._y);

Just replace ??? with what you want to be the most RIGHT-side limit. See if that works, just my 2 cents

I "weirdly" fixed it this way:

windowMC.windoW.startDrag(false, 144,0,0, 0 );

So, what would be the way to "constraint" the drag to an empty movieclip's coordinates? In flash CS3 and CS5 I used to make it this way:

windowMC.windoW.startDrag(false, emptyMovieclip._width );

And in an onEnterFrame detects the X coordinates to do whatever action:

onEnterFrame=function(){
if(windowMC.windoW._x <= 32){    //if the windows X is before or in X=32

windowMC.windoW._x=32;    //force the movieclip to stay in X= 32                                                            
                                           //and not move
DO ANOTHER ACTION; 

}
}

Thanks

Um, you could use getBounds(), which retrieves the most left and right X position of a movieclip and also the most top and bottom Y position of the same movieclip:

b = emptyMovieclip.getBounds(this);
windowMC.windoW.startDrag(false, b.xMin, b.yMin, b.xMax, b.yMax);

If that doesn't work, try this:

b = emptyMovieclip.getBounds(windowMC.windoW);
windowMC.windoW.startDrag(false, b.xMin, b.yMin, b.xMax, b.yMax);
