MovieClip._droptarget
Availability
Flash Player 4.
Usage
myMovieClip
._droptarget
Description
Property (read-only); returns the absolute path in slash syntax notation of the movie clip instance on which the MovieClip
was dropped. The _droptarget
property always returns a path that starts with a slash (/
). To compare the _droptarget
property of an instance to a reference, use the eval
function to convert the returned value from slash syntax to a dot syntax reference.
Example
The following example evaluates the _droptarget
property of the garbage
movie clip instance and uses eval
to convert it from slash syntax to a dot syntax reference. The garbage
reference is then compared to the reference to the trash
movie clip instance. If the two references are equivalent, the visibility of garbage
is set to false
. If they are not equivalent, the garbage
instance is reset to its original position.
if (eval(garbage._droptarget) == _root.trash) {
garbage._visible = false;
} else {
garbage._x = x_pos;
garbage._y = y_pos;
}
The variables x_pos
and y_pos
are set on Frame 1 of the movie with the following script:
x_pos = garbage._x;
y_pos = garbage._y;
