Hi, It is being called in the function: function DragGame()         {             _totalPieces = 5;             _currentPieces = 0;            createPieces();         } I'll take another look at the code, there must be something else. When I publish there are not errors, which is the strange thing. I'll keep chipping away to see what is the missing link. ... View more

em, maybe I misanderstand you, but the 4th post does show that code? The rest of the code checks to see if the movieClip that is dragged hits the required target MovieClip. If it does, it locks into place and you no longer can drag it. If you do not drop it into the correct target place the movieClip snaps back into the original place. ... View more

Hi, I'm not sureI understand what you mean? The code I have provided is all of the code in Frame 1 on its own script layer. The code is identical to the code in the .as file, which does work. Other than that, I don't know what else to provide. The only other chnages are in the MovieClip Class settings: Thats it, its all I have....... ... View more

Hi, Yes, The movieclip THE is in the Library. I click on it and it displays in the preview window. It has the Class name of THE and the base class of: flash.display.MovieClip This why I am flustered by this, it should work. Here is the complete code: There are actually five Movieclips, each one is a word: ========================================================== stop();     import flash.display.MovieClip;     import flash.events.MouseEvent;     import flash.filters.DropShadowFilter;         import THE;     import BOY;     import KICKED;     import HIS;     import BALL;                     var _targetPiece:*;         var _origX:Number;         var _origY:Number;         var _totalPieces:Number;         var _currentPieces:Number;         var the:THE;         var boy:BOY;         var kicked:KICKED;         var his:HIS;         var ball:BALL;                 function DragGame()         {             _totalPieces = 5;             _currentPieces = 0;             createPieces();         }                 function createPieces():void         {             the = new THE();             addChild(the);             the._targetPiece = tTHE_mc;             the.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, checkTarget);             the.x = 103.50;             the.y = 72.60;                         boy = new BOY();             addChild(boy);             boy._targetPiece = tBOY_mc;             boy.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, checkTarget);             boy.x = 165.25;             boy.y = 72.30;                         kicked = new KICKED();             addChild(kicked);             kicked._targetPiece = tKICKED_mc;             kicked.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, checkTarget);             kicked.x = 247.05;             kicked.y = 72.30;                         his = new HIS();             addChild(his);             his._targetPiece = tHIS_mc;             his.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, checkTarget);             his.x = 323.85;             his.y = 72.30;                         ball = new BALL();             addChild(ball);             ball._targetPiece = tBALL_mc;             ball.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, checkTarget);             ball.x = 379.60;             ball.y = 72.75;                        }                          function DragDrop()         {             _origX = this.x;             _origY = this.y;             this.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, dragMovie);             this.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, dropMovie);             this.buttonMode = true;         }                 function dragMovie(event:MouseEvent):void         {             this.startDrag();             this.filters = [new DropShadowFilter()];             this.parent.addChild(this);         }                 function dropMovie(event:MouseEvent):void         {             this.stopDrag();             this.filters = [];         }                 function disable():void         {             this.buttonMode = false;             this.removeEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, dragMovie);             this.removeEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, dropMovie);         }                 function checkTarget(event:MouseEvent):void         {             if(event.currentTarget.hitTestObject(event.currentTarget._targetPiece))             {                 event.currentTarget.x = event.currentTarget._targetPiece.x;                 event.currentTarget.y = event.currentTarget._targetPiece.y;                 event.currentTarget.removeEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, checkTarget);                 event.currentTarget.disable();                 _currentPieces ++;                 if(_currentPieces >= _totalPieces)                 {                                         gotoAndStop (5);                 }             }             else             {                 event.currentTarget.x = event.currentTarget._origX;                 event.currentTarget.y = event.currentTarget._origY;                 //gotoAndStop (7);             }         } ...

Hi, thanks for the response. I have tried several variations to fix the issue. The "THE" class is the class assigned to the MovieClip "THE" in the library where it was exported for Actionscript 3 using linkage. This was the working situation when the code was being called from the external .as files. By you asking this question suddenly made me realise that instead of the class linking to the external .as file, which I had stupidly left as linkage is still required when calling movieclips from the library, I simply changed the properties to the base class of: flash.display.MovieClip The errors have all gone, the SWF file publishes, but none of the movieclips are displayed on the screen. If I comment out the "import THE:" or leave it in, the same thing happens. No errors but the movieclips do not populate the screen. I have 5 movieclips in the Library. All are words. The idea is that the five words display mixed up. The user then drags the words into the correct order, once in  the correct order the user goes to another frame displaying a "Well done" message and a button to go to the next scene to continue. This works fine when using the external .as files. I can provide the full script text if required? ... View more

Hi, thanks for the reply, it is very useful. My problem I suppose was that I was coming from the otherway. I use ID a lot for Brochure design etc so I was used to it. Also I use Photoshop, Illustrator and other Adobe apps on a daily basis so I was familiar with the key shortcuts and other simularities. I then had to use Framemaker, and I found it very un user friendly and frustrating. It took a while even to realise you had to create a different master for each page design etc... But I now see the uses for text heavy Technical documents. Thanks again for your input ... View more

I have requested this feature. It would also tie into my feature request of being able to hyperlink a word of text in a sentence to go to a slide or a random slide from a Slide Group. I think this would open up a whole new area of options for Educational/Corporate Courses etc....where answering quiz questions is not the requirement, but simply the challenge of progressing through a course. Kid's don't like doing Tests/Quizzes, but give them challenges where they need to progress through levels and learn without relaising it, they will excel. This, in my opinion is why the likes of the Mario games are so popular, as getting through the levels is the challenge. Ask them what their score is and they cannot tell you! I was curious about this, as I listened to my kids one day asking their friends what level they were at on Mario Brothers Wii. They could all say what level they were on, and got animated about the challenges and difficult sections to get through. I asked them what scores they had, they all shrugged their shoulders and went on again about the levels........ I never hold my breathe though. ... View more

I'm having a similar issue. My Slides are streaming video from our FMS 3.5. Whats happening is that the Video is starting immediately but this daft Grey (loading...) screen is sitting there while the audio of the video is playing in the background and it takes about 10 seconds for the page to load. It should be instant as we aare pulling from a strreaming server. The package itself is only 300kb. ... View more

Hi, Thanks for the help. The Transition section was covered at the bottom so I could not see it. This worked as the default was set to Fade in and Fade Out. This worked, thanks.
