In November 1998 (maybe a little before and after), there was a discussion

on this list on how to simulate drag and drop in Flash and some concensus

that it could be done (though I don't believe I ever saw a site that

actually did so). Brad Merritt(? I believe) made a "dress the snowman"

screensaver that used drag and drop with dhtml (I think) and there was some

discussion on how to do the same thing in Flash 3. Unfortunately my own

archives aren't complete enough to find the whole discussion and the parts I

have don't include the URL to the screen saver to see if it even exits

still. In any case, maybe someone can do a search of the newsgroup archives

or has a more complete archive themselves and find information that might be

helpful to you. The pieces of the thread I have are from Nov. 23, 1998. Oh,

it's a *lot* easier in Flash 4... this seems like a lot of work to me :)
