How to move an object to specific area

[khateebkhan]

I want to move two objects in two areas but one area is specified for one object but not for the other. When that object is moved to the second area not specified for that then that object should come back to its original position.

[kglad]

make both objects movieclips and assign a property to each that indicates its target.

use a hitTestObject to determine if each is dropped on its target.

[khateebkhan]

how to assign property that indicate target to movieclip in actionscript 2.0 and 3.0

[kglad]

it's the same in as2 and as3:

yourmovieclip.target=whatever;

I am trying this code and it is working perfectly:

chk.onPress=function(){

  startDrag(this);

}

chk.onRelease=function(){

  stopDrag();

  checkTarget(this);

}

chk.onReleaseOutside=function(){

  stopDrag();

  checkTarget(this);

}

function checkTarget(drag){

  if(eval(chk._droptarget)==squ4)

  {

  chk._x=770;

  chk._y=330;

  }else{

  chk._x=455;

  chk._y=550;

    }

}javascript:;

But i have to add another object as below but as soon as i do this, the above stops working.

bird.onPress=function(){

  startDrag(this);

}

bird.onRelease=function(){

  stopDrag();

  checkTarget(this);

}

bird.onReleaseOutside=function(){

  stopDrag();

  checkTarget(this);

}

function checkTarget(drag){

  if(eval(bird._droptarget)==squ4)

  {

  bird._x=770;

  bird._y=330;

  }else{

  bird._x=870;

  bird._y=555;

    }

}

use:

var birdA:Array=[bird1,bird2,bird3,bird4];

for(var i:Number=0;i<birdA.length;i++){

birdA[.target=squ4;

birdA.onPress=startDragF;

birdA.onRelease=birdA.onReleaseOutside=stopDragF;

birdA.startX=birdA._x;

birdA.startY=birdA._y;

}

function startDragF():Void{

this.startDrag();

}

function stopDragF():Void{

this.stopDrag();

if(eval(this._dropTarget)==this.target){

this._x = this.target._x;

this._y = this.target._y;

} else {

this._x = this.startX;

this._y = this.startY;

}

}

how to code the rest?

I mean chk was for chicken which we have to move squ4. Now birds also have to move to squ4.

but bears and pencils have to move to squr4.

when one coding is done, its fine, but when other is done, first just vanishes.

[kglad]

use:

var birdA:Array=[bird1,bird2,bird3,bird4];

var chickA:Array=[chk1,chk2,chk3,chk4];

var bearA:Array=[bear1,bear2,bear3];

var pencilA:Array=[pencil1,pencil2,pencil3];

////

handlerF(birdA.squ4);

handlerF(chickA.squ4);

handlerF(bearA.squr4);

handlerF(pencilA.squr4);

function handlerF(a:Array,target:MovieClip):Void{

for(var i:Number=0;i<a.length;i++){

a[.target=target;

a.onPress=startDragF;

a.onRelease=a.onReleaseOutside=stopDragF;

a.startX=a._x;

a.startY=a._y;

}

}

function startDragF():Void{

this.startDrag();

}

function stopDragF():Void{

this.stopDrag();

if(eval(this._dropTarget)==this.target){

this._x = this.target._x;

this._y = this.target._y;

} else {

this._x = this.startX;

this._y = this.startY;

}

}
