Help needed when dynamically creating new stage sprites

Question

Morning folks,
I'm feeling very rusty when asking this question! It feels
like I should
know the answer but simply unable to comprehend where I'm
going wrong at the
moment!!
I'm in the process of creating a Director piece that involves
the user
having to drag "shapes" onto a pre-defined grid [drag and
drop style] --
there are currently three different types of shape that can
be dragged of
which many of the shapes can be of the same type. So I need
to display the
three shape types on one side of the screen and allow the
user to drag and
drop as many as they wish to the girded area.
I've written the drag and drop routine but now having
difficulty in
producing the dynamic creation of a new draggable shape; so
far I've managed
to create a new "shape" sprite from my cast library and
placed it in the
correct location. Then I create and add a new instance of my
"Drag and Drop"
behaviour onto the newly created sprite, but this is where it
goes wrong --
although I can drag the dynamically created sprite, once
dropped Director
complains of not knowing what its local properties are, for
example I'm
unable to reference the locH and locV of the newly created
sprite!
I'm really at a loss on this one and would appreciate any
kind of guidance!
Many thanks in advance, Mark ;-)

Hi Saravanan,
>>>><b>First column - Welcome message , below Date , time and place</b>
   It is possible to add date, time and location in the welcome area. Jus add a table to the <td> of the welcome area container. Like this.
<% Date d= new Date(); %>
<TD nowrap class="prtlHdrWelcome" ti="0" tabIndex="0" id="welcome_message"><%=StringUtils.escapeToHTML(GetWelcomeMsg(componentRequest, welcomeClauseStr))%><table width="100"><tr><td nowrap><%=d%></td><td>INDIA</td></tr></table></TD>
Hope it helps.
Regards,
Saravanan
