When I import any kind of Flash drag and drop interaction, including ones made by Macromedia/Adobe I can get the drag to work but not the drop. Anyone any ideas?

I hadn't considered that. I'll think about using Captivate although my knowledge of this is limited and I don't always know if I can get it to do what I want.

The drag and drop is meant to be a kind of drag 8 pictures things into one of 2 places and see if you get them all right. It is an easy piece of Flash to make. It isn't meant to be a formal question and should have synergy with other Flash interactions in the same learning module.

Hi funqueen,

The question reminds me of a slightly perverted version of the tree falling in the forest. Whether or not anyone is there to see it, what does a *drop* look and sound like? LOL!

My best offering is to use Captivate. If you are a Flash person, that may sound daft, but give it a try. Just begin your recording, making sure that the Full Motion is enabled in your preferences, and during the recording, left-click-and-drag an object to a new location, then release the left mouse button to drop the object.

It takes a little practice to make this work smoothly, but it works every time, and you certainly do not need to import anything built in Flash to make it work. If more info is needed, please advise your version of Captivate, and exactly what process you are having trouble with. Thanks!

best wishes~
