Batch operation in function

Question

hey folks,
I have a number of mcs labelled h 1-15. I want to have a function that if someone places an mc on it, it'll lock to the h mc centered. So I'm thinking I'll have a function similar to this (see below). Is there a way to run this without having to do 15 of the else ifs?
function dragchange(e:DisplayObject):void{ 
if(h1.hitTestPoint(mouseX, mouseY, true)){
          TweenMax.to(me,1,{scaleX:0.4,scaleY:0.2,rotation:0});
} else if (h2.hitTestPoint(mouseX, mouseY, true)){
          TweenMax.to(me,1,{scaleX:0.4,scaleY:0.4,rotation:0});
} else if (h3.hitTestPoint(mouseX, mouseY, true)){
          TweenMax.to(me,1,{scaleX:0.2,scaleY:0.1,rotation:0});
} else {
          TweenMax.to(me,1,{scaleX:0.4,scaleY:0.4,rotation:0});
me.x =500
me.y=500

Answer 1

hey voodoo, pretty simple coder here. The dragchange function name is just a place holder. Really this function will serve as a lock in place function. So when the user grabs a card and drags it to the specified area, there are "pockets", I want the card they choose to lock into the center of the pocket. So I have 15 pockets designated h1-15. The "me" is the dragged object that is currently active. so my whole code currently looks like this. The lockinplace function is actually the one I meant. Would the code you provided still work?
