I want to make a button that changes color when rolled-over (which I have) but can also be dragged-and-dropped with a _droptarget command. I do not have a button imbedded in a movie clip, but only a button, so I think I can get one or the other effects, but not both. What I have w/ Actionscript now drags the whole movie. Do I need to start over and create movie clips first? Help!

Instead of making the button first, you make a movieclip, (don't forget to give a name ->Instance-name), and make that into a button. Then you can drag your button.
I guess it will be enough changing the behavior of the button into a movieclip! And start over with actions.

I can't get my ActionScript to work to make the button disappear and reset itself. Here's what I have (the movie clip button is referred to as < this > and the destination clip is called < spidertext >):


on (press) {
startDrag(this)
}
on (release) {
stopDrag ();
if (this._droptarget=="/spidertext") {
setProperty (this, _visible, false);
}
}

Is this wrong? Why won't it disappear? The movie clip itself is larger than the destination movie clip, but isn't it the size of the button that counts, or does that matter at all as long as the button is dropped over the destination?

"disappear and reset itself" ?
Do you want it to reset the x and y coordinates or do you want the movie to disappear?

Your script only "says" disappear:

on (press) {
startDrag(this)
}
on (release) {
stopDrag ();
if (this._droptarget=="/spidertext") {
setProperty (this, _visible, false);
}
}


I almost doesn't know flash 5, (the actionscripts looks different), but in flash 4 the code will look like:

On (Press)
Start Drag ("/this")
End On
On (Release)
Stop Drag
If (GetProperty ("/this",_droptarget) eq "/movie2")
Set Property ("/this", Visibility) = "0"
End If
End On

I have made a small example you can see and download:

Sometimes, they do have trouble with their DNS-server at whitehat, so if you can't load the page, try again later.
