Draging to a target

[Grenouille]

hi, i have a movie clip that i can drag.....is it possible to set an x and y position on the stage as a target for the movie.....is it possible to snap the movie to this position when the movie is dragged to within a few px of this target......and can the snapping trigger a getURL action.....
i hope this is possible....thank you for any help you can offer

hi Grenouille,

yes it is possiable, use the below code to fix the area of drag movie

onClipEvent (load) {
    startDrag("MovieClipName", true, 10, 10, 10, 10);
}

startDrag("MovieClipName", true, LeftValue, TopValue, RightValue, BottomValue);

Regards

Doesn't that code just allow the movieClip to be dragged within the defined coords?

If you want it to click into place then I would suggest making a mC the size of the area you want, and then use hitTest like this:

on(release){
 if(test_mc.hitTest("dragged_mc", true)){
  //set the coords
  dragged_mc._x=50;
  dragged_mc._y=50;
  dragged_mc.stopDrag();
 }else{
  dragged_mc.stopDrag();
 }
}
