I am doing a drag and drop tut where she is using four images as drop targets. Can anyone clue me in on this? She is also swapping out those four images for state changes.

Thanks in advance

    Drag source you mean? You have to create a shape, and change Fill to 'Image' instead of 'Solid' or 'Gradient'. It is not a conversion, it is a Fill technique. Here is a blog post explaining how to create a shape button that way, you only have to use the Fill part, a shape button cannot be a drag source, nor a drop target.

    Can you tell why you want a shape instead of using the image?

    I do not understand your question. It is possible to fill a shape with an

    image, both JPG and PNG. Only SVG is not possible. Drag sources and drop

    targets have Inbuilt states and ypu can add custom states as well.

    I want to import an image and use it as a drag target. If I drag an image to the stage, how do I convert it to a smart shape? Is it not that easy?
