FLASH: _droptarget question

[Frank Joerdens]

I am trying to understand how this is supposed to work. My experimental

setup consists of a blue and a red circle, each in its own layer and

each assigned Movie Clip behaviour and Button behaviour, to make them

draggable. That works; I can drag both around on the screen. Now I want

to trigger some sort of action when I drag the blue circle onto the red

circle (which is somewhat larger than the blue circle - how does flash

evaluate the limits of a target by the way?). To this end, I have added

a second keyframe to the movie and assigned a sound to it. I also added

to the Actions tab of the Frame properties dialog box of the 1st Frame,

in the layer which contains the blue circle, the following code:


Stop

If (_droptarget eq "/red.clip")

      Go to Next Frame

End If

Go to Previous Frame


which is intended to play the sound if I drag the blue circle onto the

red circle, which does not work.


It seems that I am missing something here. Does anyone have any idea as

to what that might be?


Cheers,

Frank
