Drag & Drop Game - I'm stuck!

Question

Hello.
I'll try and explain this as simply as I can!
I have a drag and drop game where you have to drag one of 4
items into a bag. If you chose the right item and drag that into
the bag, you'll jump to a specific marker which says CORRECT. If
you drag any of the other 3 items, you'll jump to a marker that
says FALSE. In other words, for each item I need it to jump to a
different marker when you've dragged it in.
At the moment I've managed to get it working so it jumps to
the marker, but it jumps to the same marker which ever item you
drag. I need them to be different.
>> I HAVE THIS SCRIPT ON MY DRAGGABLE ITEM:
end beginSprite
on endSprite(me)
(the actorList).deleteOne(me)
end endSprite
on mouseDown me
pOffset = pSprite.loc - the mouseLoc
(the actorList).append(me)
end
on stepFrame(me)
if the mouseDown then
pSprite.loc = pOffset + the mouseLoc
else
sendAllSprites(#DropSprite, the mouseLoc)
pSprite.loc = pStartLoc
(the actorList).deleteOne(me)
end if
end stepFrame
>> I HAVE THIS SCRIPT ON MY TARGET AREA (BAG):
property marker
on DropSprite(me, aLoc)
vSprite = sprite(me.spriteNum)
vRect = vSprite.rect
if aLoc.inside(vRect) then
go marker
end if
end DropSprite
on getPropertyDescriptionList(me)
vPropertyList = [:]
vPropertyList[ \
#marker] = [ \
#comment: "Marker to jump to when DropSprite is called", \
#format: #marker, \
#default: marker(1)]
return vPropertyList
end getPropertyDescriptionList
Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thank you.

You've left out the beginSprite portion of one of the
handlers so I created
what I thought you might be using there.
Instead of declaring a marker for a correct sprite in the bag
sprite, I've
changed it to the draggable sprites so each has a designation
of correct or
incorrect. This way you have the choice of making more than
one "correct"
if you're using many sprites. Now, the bag checks first to
see if a dropped
sprite is within itself then checks the type of sprite to
determine what the
target marker is. You could add a property for correct and
incorrect to
determine the target marker rather than hard coding it like I
did. But
that's left as an exersize for the student ;)
