Moveable Web Graphics
Posted on 2006-07-19
I am relatively new to the web design game and still only learning really so I apologise now if some of the questions I ask are a bit "Duh......!". Any way, here goes:
I am trying to develop a web activity that will allow dragging and dropping of graphics. The whole idea is a bit like a jigsaw puzzle for an English activity within the school where I work. We want to get a number of pictures of different eyes / noses / mouths / hair etc so we can drag them onto a face base.
I am a beginner with flash - Is this the best thing to use? I am open to suggestions.
Many thanks

Hello andymellor,
The drag and drop function is a easy but fun part of flash,
All you have to do is in the movieclip that has your webGraphic, just put this code in the Actions panel
on(press){
startDrag(this,true)
}
on(release){
stopDrag();
}
Easy As That
HTH,

Put your pictures in the very center of your movieClip,
it makes it look nicer
