Arguments
target
The target path of the movie clip to drag.
lock
A Boolean value specifying whether the draggable movie clip is locked to the center of the mouse position (true
), or locked to the point where the user first clicked on the movie clip (false
). This argument is optional.
left
, top
, right
, bottom
Values relative to the coordinates of the movie clip's parent that specify a constraint rectangle for the movie clip. These arguments are optional.
Description
Action; makes the target
movie clip draggable while the movie is playing. Only one movie clip can be dragged at a time. Once a startDrag
operation is executed, the movie clip remains draggable until explicitly stopped by a stopDrag
action, or until a startDrag
action for another movie clip is called.
Example
To create a movie clip that users can position in any location, attach the startDrag
and stopDrag
actions to a button inside the movie clip, as in the following:
on(press) { startDrag("",true); } on(release) { stopDrag(); }
