That's a good one. Or delete (or set to null) the onRelease handler of
PourWater_btn down the line. There are usually a number of ways to solve
your problems in ActionScript. If you "get" the idea of classes and
objects, you'll find you have a wealth of information right at your finger
tips. The _currentframe property kglad mentioned, for example ... it's a
property of the MovieClip class. Check out these classes, VaporAction! :)

Okay.

Well, here's what you've got. The Button.onRelease or
MovieCip.onRelease event is dispatched when the user releases the mouse
after having clicked it. This only occurs once, unless the user clicks and
releases again.

So ... when the user releases, the following occurs: ElementVe_mc stops
dragging and its MovieClip._y property is incremented by one pixel (if it
happens to fall beneath 412.4 pixels at the time of the event).

I susped you want to increase the _y position as often as necessary,
rather than just once. To accomplish this, you'll have to continue
incrementing its value over time. You might, for example, set up a
MovieClip.onEnterFrame event handlers inside this onRelease handler ...

ElementFe_mc.onRelease = function(): Void {
this.stopDrag();
if (this._y < 412.4) {
this.onEnterFrame = function() {
this._y++;
}
}
}

Of course, you'll want a second if statement in there to determine when to
delete the onEnterFrame function. Make sense?
