[RESOLVED] As3 iOS only drag parent MC

[edutainpeople]

Hi

When I target my main MC on the stage making it draggable, its nested MCs (its children) also becomes draggable? Is there a way to prevent this?

I have an MC called "zoo" and I use the following code:

Multitouch.inputMode = MultitouchInputMode.TOUCH_POINT;

var fl_DragBounds:Rectangle = new Rectangle(0, 0, 500, 500);
			
			
			
			
			zoo.addEventListener(TouchEvent.TOUCH_BEGIN, zoo_TouchBeginHandler);
			zoo.addEventListener(TouchEvent.TOUCH_END, zoo_TouchEndHandler);
			
			
			
		
		
		
			
		function zoo_TouchBeginHandler(event:TouchEvent):void
		{

			event.target.startTouchDrag(event.touchPointID, false, fl_DragBounds);
		}
		
		function zoo_TouchEndHandler(event:TouchEvent):void
		{
			event.target.stopTouchDrag(event.touchPointID);
		}

Any way to ONLY make the parent MC draggable? (of course the nested MCs should follow the "zoo" MC when I drag it - so they should be "fixed" in the "zoo" MC).

Cheers.

Not sure what the issue is from your question.

Yes, any move you make to myMC will move everything in myMC. If you have a movieclip mySquare in myMC, myMC.mySquare will move with myMC. If myMC.x = 0, and myMC.mySquare.x = 0, then you move myMC from 0 to 78433, myMC.mySquare.x is still 0.

Hi

The problem was that each child also became draggable
So I tried stopPropagation() but with no luck.

I used event.currentTarget instead of event.target, and it worked. I can now drag (only) the zoo MC, but not its children.
