Im trying to make a drag and drop game where i can drag words into a table which then makes a Tick

Im having trouble with this and its going wrong. I need to use actionscript 2 and im on flash cs3. Can anyone give me a code i could use to do this or maybe a tutorial?
Thanks

if you can't explain, you can't get specific help. you can still use google to search for tutorials and you may get enough help to see you past the problem(s) you're having.

When i drag and drop to my ipod it wants to sync everything, but if i make changes to the syncing options and apply it wants to sync it all to make it work. i have 12000 songs and takes two days to sync everything. is there an easier way to drag and drop

when i drag and drop to my ipod it wants to sync everything, but if i make changes to the syncing options and apply it wants to sync it all to make it work. i have 12000 songs and takes two days to sync everything. is there an easier way to drag and drop just one album without making settings changes?

The first ever Sync of 12,000 songs to an empty iPod will take a while, but it shouldn't take two days.
Once all 12,000 songs have been Synced to the iPod, subsequent changes to just one album will result in a very short Sync time. That Sync will include:
the change to that one album
play counts on iPod updated into your iTunes Library
Smart Playlists updated: some complex Smart Playlists are not always updated by the iPod but have to wait for a Sync with the Library.
housework - in other words, behind the scenes tasks that we don't need to see.
Those subsequent Syncs do not sync every single song every time.
So, stick with Syncing. If the first Sync of all your songs is taking too long, try syncing part of the Library (say one or two genres) the first time, a further part the second time and so on. After all, with a Library that large, manually managing the iPod will be a source of torture.

Drag and Drop game with only two targets

I created a drag and drop activity where their are five boxes that are supposed to go in to two columns in any order. I found a tutorial online that I based this activity off of.
The problem is that the tutorial shows you how to make a target for each mc which has worked for all the activities I've made except for this one where I need only two targets. How would I change it so I can have multiple mc's drop on to one target?
This is my AS:
var score:Number = 0;
var objectoriginalX:Number;
var objectoriginalY:Number;
growing_mc.buttonMode = true;
growing_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, pickupObject);
growing_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, dropObject);
gorging_mc.buttonMode = true;
gorging_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, pickupObject);
gorging_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, dropObject);
dormancy_mc.buttonMode = true;
dormancy_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN , pickupObject);
dormancy_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, dropObject);
cystform_mc.buttonMode = true;
cystform_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN , pickupObject);
cystform_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, dropObject);
hosttrans_mc.buttonMode = true;
hosttrans_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOW N, pickupObject);
hosttrans_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, dropObject);
function pickupObject(event:MouseEvent):void {
event.target.startDrag(true);
event.target.parent.addChild(event.target);
objectoriginalX = event.target.x;
objectoriginalY = event.target.y;
function dropObject(event:MouseEvent):void {
event.target.stopDrag();
var matchingTargetName:String = "target" + event.target.name;
var matchingTargetisplayObject = getChildByName(matchingTargetName);
if (event.target.dropTarget != null && event.target.dropTarget.parent == matchingTarget){
event.target.removeEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_ DOWN, pickupObject);
event.target.removeEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_ UP, dropObject);
event.target.buttonMode = false;
event.target.x = matchingTarget.x;
event.target.y = matchingTarget.y;
score++;
scoreField.text = String(score);
} else {
event.target.x = objectoriginalX;
event.target.y = objectoriginalY;
if(score == 5){
response_mc.gotoAndStop(2);

var matchingTargetName:String =(event.target.name).substring(0, 1);
Change the name of the target to A and B and the mc A1, A2, A3, A4... and B1, B2,B3...

A drag and drop game with dynamic text response

Hi,
I am a teacher and my school has recently upgraded to Adobe Design Premium. Our previous version was about 5 versions out of date.
I teach A Level which requires students to create an Interactice Multimedia product.
In the previous 6 years, I have taught students how to create simple drag and drop game with dynamic text responses.
Since the upgrade to Actionscript 3.0 the dynamic text response has ceased working.
When creating the game from scratch, I need to move to Actionscript 2.0 as 3.0 does not allow me to add actionscript to objects - I know and am sure that this is a better way of doing things, but I would prefer to keep working the way I am used to.
I use a switch case statement which I have copied below to make the drag and drop work. The objects I apply the code to work in that they can be dragged, however, my dynamic text box with a variable name of "answer" is no longer displaying the response when an answer is left on a dropzone (rectangle converted to a symbol and given an instance name).
on(press) {
startdrag(this);
on(release) {
stopdrag();
switch(this._droptarget) {
case "/dropzoneB":
   _root.answer="Well done";
   break;
case "/dropzoneA":
case "/dropzoneC":
   _root.answer="Hopeless";
   break;
default:
   _root.answer="";
   break;
Any help would be much apeciated.
Thanks
Adrian

To drag in as3
blie_btn is the instance of the object drawin on the stage. In AS3 you have to assign a even listener, in this case MOUSE_DOWN, and MOUSE_UP, as we want the drag to stop if the mouse is not clicked. Then we fire the functions, and tell the object to start drag.
// Register mouse event functions
blue_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, mouseDownHandler);
blue_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, mouseUpHandler);
red_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, mouseDownHandler);
red_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, mouseUpHandler);
// Define a mouse down handler (user is dragging)
function mouseDownHandler(evt:MouseEvent):void {
     var object = evt.target;
     // we should limit dragging to the area inside the canvas
     object.startDrag();
function mouseUpHandler(evt:MouseEvent):void {
     var obj = evt.target;
          obj.stopDrag();
if you want to make the text do what you want then something like this might work.
In the function, you could add a text box onto the stage, give it a instance of something like outputText
and then:
outputText = ("Bla Bla Bla");
(^Not sure if this will work exactly^)
PS. I am currently a A-level student

Need help with drag and drop game, Urgent!

Hi I have created a drag and drop game, the drag and drop is
working alright however once the right word has been placed in the
box, and moves on to the next question the previous correct answer
stays where it was placed, how can i get it to snap back to its
original location? Also when the right word is draged in to the the
white box i want it to snap into place in that box so it fits in
there.
Also if you have any other thoughts and advice on how i can
improve on this please email me thanx
Can someone please help, my .fla file can be found here:

tellTarget is ancient
I forget what it even used to do??? hahaha
seriously, just put in the instance name and what you want it
to do:
tellTarget("movieclip"){
play();
is now just
movieclip.play();

Is it too much to ask to make it an option to disable drag-and-drop altogether so I can finally ditch IE and start using your product?

I suppose drag and drop is a fine feature for those who want it but it irritates the crap out of me and it seems like it should be simple enough to add in a button or a check-box to turn it off.

Things to change:
Replace * with ^
Replace new with gcnew
Replace NULL with nullptr
Replace "pExcel->get_Workbooks();" with "pExcel->Workbooks;
That will care of most issues. There are a few arrays that also need fixing, such as "Object^ oArgs[]". For this you have to use "array<Object^>^ oArgs" (without the []). This one appears in 2 places and there's also "System::Object*
oParams[]" which needs to the same treatment.
This should get the code to a compilable state.

After drag and drop initiation get rid of dragged symbol

Here is the code I have now for the drag and drop initation
onMouseMove = function(){
updateAfterEvent();
redCircle.onPress = function(){
startDrag(this,true)
redCircle.onRelease = function(){
this.stopDrag();
checkTarget(this);
redCircle.onReleaseOutside = function(){
this.stopDrag();
checkTarget(this);
function checkTarget(drag){
// _dropTarget method (commented so non active)
// trace(drag+ "has been dropped on "+eval(drag._droptarget));
if (drag.hitTest(greyCircle)) {
drag+ gotoAndStop (32);
} else {
gotoAndStop (31);
What I want to happen is that after you drop the dragged symbol into the landing area the symbol disappears instead of staying in the landing area.
I am just wondering how to do this.

try:
onMouseMove = function(){
updateAfterEvent();
redCircle.onPress = function(){
startDrag(this,true)
redCircle.onRelease = function(){
this.stopDrag();
checkTarget(this);
redCircle.onReleaseOutside = function(){
this.stopDrag();
checkTarget(this);
function checkTarget(drag){
// _dropTarget method (commented so non active)
// trace(drag+ "has been dropped on "+eval(drag._droptarget));
if (drag.hitTest(greyCircle)) {
drag+ gotoAndStop (32); //<- what's that supposed to do? <----------That makes the timeline go to frame 32 when the symbol is dropped into the //landing area
drag.removeMovieClip();
} else {
gotoAndStop (31);
What I want to happen is that after you drop the dragged symbol into the landing area the symbol disappears instead of staying in the landing area.
I am just wondering how to do this.
the drag.removeMovieClip(); did not work the movie clip drop symbol was still was visible when it was placed in the landing area

I can't drag and drop a Goggle image onto a Word doc.

Is there a Firefox preference that allows images to drag and drop onto a Word doc?

For what it's worth, this worked for me using the beta version of Firefox 4 and Word for Mac 2011. If it doesn't work for you, try dragging the image from Firefox to your desktop, and then from your desktop into Word.

Drag and Drop Games

I'm interesting in creating some simple games which require
drag and drop and gives some results/points
is this possible with captivate 3? I read somewhere in some
reviews that it is possible with matching games.
Has anyone any experience or knowledge in this area?

Hi edumacator and welcome to our community
Certainly the Captivate Question type of Matching offers the
ability to click and drag, but that is limited to the text used.
There is another Captivate Question type of Sequence that may be
used, but it too is limited to the text.
The bottom line is that there is no way I'm aware of with
Captivate alone, that you may create a drag and drop using images.
(I'm guessing that you don't wish to offer simple text and would
prefer images that would be clicked and dragged)
You would have to resort to Flash for something like that.
Cheers... Rick

Images from my i-pad, stored in i-photo, will randomly refuse a drag and drop attempt. I can move the image to the desktop, and from there to the document (mail etc.) and it will work (display image). As I mentioned, these events are random. ....Help !

When executing a drag and drop from i-photo to a document, occasional, random, images will refuse drop onto the document. The work around is to drag the offending image to the desk top, and from there to the document.
Question: What is causing these random "rebel" images to misbehave ?

It is better to use export or to use the media browser form the target program

Match, drag and drop game

Hello,
My name is Nikola and I'm newbie with AS.
Here’s the thing:
With the help of some tutorial I’ve created a 'game', where user selects objects, drags it, and drops it on correct shape/color/object. Tutorial is “1 to 1” based, so you can match one object and one target only.
Now, I would like to have multi objects, and one target on which I can drop them.
Example:
TARGET: blue square
OBJECTS: blue star, blue circle, etc.
I got stucked with Instance and Movie clip names since they have to be unique, and the code itself works on the principle of names paring - object: name, target: "target"+object name.
Here’s a code for “1 to 1” option:
var objectoriginalX:Number;
var objectoriginalY:Number;
shape_mc.buttonMode = true;
shape_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, pickupObject);
shape_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, dropObject);
shape2_mc.buttonMode = true;
shape2_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, pickupObject);
shape2_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, dropObject);
function pickupObject(event:MouseEvent):void {
event.target.startDrag(true);
event.target.parent.addChild(event.target);
objectoriginalX = event.target.x;
objectoriginalY = event.target.y;
function dropObject(event:MouseEvent):void {
event.target.stopDrag();
var matchingTargetName:String = "target" + event.target.name;
var matchingTarget:DisplayObject = getChildByName(matchingTargetName);
if (event.target.dropTarget != null && event.target.dropTarget.parent == matchingTarget){
event.target.removeEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, pickupObject);
event.target.removeEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, dropObject);
event.target.buttonMode = false;
event.target.x = matchingTarget.x;
event.target.y = matchingTarget.y;
} else {
event.target.x = objectoriginalX;
event.target.y = objectoriginalY;
I hope that I was clear,
thanks,
Nikola

for your special example give all matching instances an identical leading Letter:
like: bStar,bSquare,bHeart for all blue Shapes and gStar,gHeart etc. for all green ones...you get the idea
then change your function
function dropObject(event:MouseEvent):void
    event.target.stopDrag();
   //check if the leading Letter for both Sprites is the same
    if (testIfMatch(event.target.name, event.target.dropTarget.parent.name))
        event.target.removeEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, pickupObject);
        event.target.removeEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, dropObject);
        event.target.buttonMode = false;
    else
        event.target.x = objectoriginalX;
        event.target.y = objectoriginalY;
function testIfMatch(_drop:String, _target:String):Boolean
    if (_drop.substr(0, 1) == _target.substr(0, 1))
        return true;
    else
        return false

Drag and Drop with snap and response

Ok, first of all I'm new to all of this as I'm just doing some parttime work. I'm trying to make a drag and drop game where the images (imported and made into movie clips with instance names "peg1 - peg7") are to be dragged onto targets (images, made into movie clips with instance names "targetpeg1-targetpet7").
Here's my code and it comes up with two errors -
ReferenceError: Error #1069: Property parent not found on builtin.as$0.MethodClosure and there is no default value.
