How can I make a drag and drop movie clip to disappear when it's dragged in a specific area?

I have a movie clip that also has the function to duplicate. What I want is that if the user dosent want so many duplicates, to have an area where if he drags the duplicates, they will disappear. Thank you.

I've search on google but I did not found any tutorial for this particular thing. I found instead this code :
on (press) {     startDrag ("", false);
this.swapDepths(_global.depth++);
on (release, releaseOutside)
stopDrag ();
this.swapDepths(_global.depth++);
if (this._x > 493.250000 && this._x < 636.050000 && this._y > 142.900000 && this._y < 271.350000)
   this.removeMovieClip();
    } // end if
but I don't know how to make the _x/_y to work, better said I changed the values but nothing happend, did I did something wrong ? The first _x/_y stands for the position? I've played with the range values but cant seem to make it happend.

Drag and Drop Movie Clips onto Plugin

Hi All,
We've built a plugin for Adobe Flash CS5.5, with a tree control in the plugin.
We wish to be able to drag and drop movie clips from the canvas onto the plugin. Wondering if anyone could point me in the right direction?
regards,
-amit

Hi,
If you are developing the plugin in Flash, have you tried to listen to NativeDragEvent.NATIVE_DRAG_ENTER and NativeDragEvent.NATIVE_DRAG_DROP ?
Once the plugin behaves like an AIR Application, you should have access to its API.
I hope it helps !

How to add a code so my drag and drop movie clip will not stick once it is dragged to final place o

Hello all and kglad, I have to use the old drag and drop code on my movie clips, but the problem is when I drag the movieclip to the area on my .swf file once i release it, it sticks to the hand mover.
I am encloseing the action script I am using could someone or kglad tell me what is missing from the code so that once it is released it will not stick, see code below
circle.onPress = function(){
startDrag(this);
circle.onRelease = function(){
stopDrag();
I am desparate for help on this must get project ready for this afternoon

there's nothing wrong with that code but it would be better to use:
circle.onPress = function(){
this.startDrag();
circle.onRelease = function(){
this.stopDrag();
but that won't solve your problem. there must be something else going on like a depth issue. you may need to use swapDepths() to bring your circle under the mouse when releasing.

Drag and Drop not working - symbol disappears when I try to drag

I have a large animation I am making in Edge Animate, and have already used the draggable jquery plugin several times. However yesterday I made a new symbol for a separate animation, and then added elements and turned them into symbols, and added the following code to the symbol timeline on creationComplete:
sym.$("milk-s").draggable();
I have tried it with several different symbols, but each time I check it in a browser, I click on the symbol to drag and it disappears instead. I can't understand what I'm doing wrong, as that is all the code in the timeline actions, and I'm sure there's no code on the symbols I want to drag. I have also copied and pasted the code from draggable symbols that work, and changed the name, as they have slightly more code on for when you start dragging the symbol.
Thanks in advance!

Not sure what I did wrong before, but it's working now! Although it's not doing the next thing I want it to do now. Here's the code I have:
sym.$('drink-can-s').draggable({ revert: 'invalid' });
sym.$("milk-s").draggable({ revert: 'invalid' });
sym.$("tin-can-s").draggable({ revert: 'invalid' });
sym.$("green-bottle-s").draggable({ revert: 'invalid' });
sym.$("box-s").draggable({ revert: 'invalid' });
sym.$("eggshells-s").draggable({ revert: 'invalid' });
sym.$("apple-s").draggable({ revert: 'invalid' });
sym.$("carrots-s").draggable({ revert: 'invalid' });
sym.$("banana-s").draggable({ revert: 'invalid' });
sym.$('compost').droppable({
accept:sym.$("banana-s"),
accept:sym.$("apple-s"),
accept:sym.$("eggshells-s"),
accept:sym.$("carrots-s"),
sym.$('recycle-drag').droppable({
accept:sym.$("drink-can-s"),
accept:sym.$("milk-s"),
accept:sym.$("tin-can-s"),
accept:sym.$("green-bottle-s"),
accept:sym.$("box-s"),
There are several draggable symbols and two droppable symbols, each draggable symbol can be put into one droppable symbol, and I want the draggable symbol to go back to it's original position if it is dragged anywhere but the correct droppable symbol. I have used revert: 'invalid' for this, but all of the draggable symbols spring back to their original position, but a bit lower down, even when dropped onto the correct droppable symbol, except "carrots-s", which isn't affected by revert: 'invalid'. Any idea what's happening?

I can't drag and drop movies from my hard drive onto my iPad.

I just recently upgraded from an iPad to an iPad 2. I still have the old iPad. I have no problem dragging and dropping movies and TV shows from my external hard drive onto my old iPad, but I can't seem to do it with the iPad 2. It syncs movies and TV shows from iTunes, but I don't want to have to load everything into iTunes just to get it onto my iPad. Again, no problems doing it with the old iPad. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.

No I didn't - checked it, and now it works! I guess I forgot about setting that feature up when I got my first iPad. Thanks Allan!

How can I make the rolumn and row headers appear on the printed sheet?

I am working in Numbers'09. I want to print out my chart with the column letters and row numbers showing.
How can I make the rolumn and row headers appear on the printed sheet?

g,
Those annotations are called "Labels", and they are only visible during editing when a cell selection is made within the table. If you need to have the labels on your final output, you can create labels in Text Boxes and position them adjacent to the table.

How do you drag and drop/move multiple emails from the inbox or mail archive folder to a file folder in your finder?

I would like to archive hundreds of my emails that currently exist in my apple mail email filing system by moving them into file folders in the finder. I can do this easily with a single email but it wont let me do it with multiple emails or a complete folder. Is there any way of do this easily?

Thanks very much for this. However, I understand how dragging and dropping files normally works. It just seems the it wont work when you do it with emails when you are transfering them into a normal finder system folder. If you highlight one file and drag it to a finder folder it works, but when you drag multiple, it just wont let you do it.
Is there any work around for this? Thank you once again for your time.

the red circle around the screen.
thank you for any assistance you may give.

Hi kglad,
I dont suppose you could show me how to create the loop? My
own research seems to indicate the onEnterFrame method would be
easiest.
I am just a beginner and even this is still beyond me.
thanks

Can't Drag and Drop movies onto iPod

I purchased a movie from the iTunes Store, which I downloaded to my Mac. I tried drag and drop the movie onto my iPod Touch (4G), and while it showed the little 'plus' icon over my iPod, it didn't transfer the movie. I made sure I had enough room on the iPod, I tried quitting iTunes and trying again, but nothing has worked. Of course, I can download the entire movie again from the iTunes store, but that's a lengthy process. In the old days I could drag pretty much anything from the Mac to the iPod. What gives? Thanks for any help.

First of all, if you try Sync , you will get exactly the same message: *"the movie <name> has not been transferred to the iPod because it cannot be played on this iPod."* The message means exactly what it says. You may believe that the iPod should play them, particularly as Quicktime does, but the fact remains - it won't, which is why iTunes will not transfer them.
I don't manually manage, I only use Sync and my iTunes is littered with .mov files that will not transfer to the iPod because I get that message. I wish I had cleaned up iTunes as I went along because now it's littered with stuff that doesn't work (except in iTunes or in Quicktime).
As for .mp4 files, I cannot find one (at the moment) in my iTunes that has not transferred to the iPod - do you mean .m4v? I definitely have some .m4v files which will transfer and others that don't. I assume it has something to do with the way the audio is encoded into the video.

When I print a webpage from FF how can I make the text and images bigger?

I am trying to print an eticket for a flight. The text on the schedule comes out too small and the UPC symbol's black lines look ganged together. I know I can view it zoomed up, but how do I make the text and images stay zoomed so they will print out that way?

I upgraded but the problem remains. At least with Firefox I do have the option to print a selection even if it mangles the top and bottom lines. With Safari or Chrome I have no option to print a selection. At the moment the only way to get a complete copy of the selection is to copy to openoffice etc and print from there.

Why does the drag and drop context menu always popup when dragging files between windows explorer instances ?

I have fusion 7.1.1 on an iMac 27 inch retina. 32GB ram of which 6GB assigned to Fusion and 2 cores. Windows 7 Home Premium installed. Mostly working fine but a few funnies. First and foremost: Whenever I drag and drop between instances of windows explorer, I get the little pop-up context menu offering me Copy Here / Move Here etc. etc. I have never known Windows to ask me what I want to do when I drag stuff - why is this happening ? I have scoured the net for info on this and found nothing. Please note that this is NOT associated with the Start Menu (For which I found a zillion solutions to whatever that problem is). Also, It is NOT to do with stopping drag & drop and Context menus: yes, I know how to do that but that is NOT what I'm asking to get rid of. This may not be related but I have also had to set my Internet Properties / Explorer settings / Launching-applications-and-unsafe-files to "Enable" to prevent every shortcut I create causing a "Do you want to run this ... ?" message every time I click on them. Doing this has caused WIndows 7 to turn into a finger-wagging safety-nanny glaring at me over its demi-lune spectacles.

Ok ... fixed
Here is the way http://forums.creativecow.net/thread/3/944828
In your sequence, on the left most column you should see a V1 (left of the Lock Track button). Click that to make sure its highlighted, it allows you to drop video to the sequence.
