Start Drag

Top  Previous  Next

Use this Action when you want to start dragging a Sprite with the mouse. To stop dragging, use the Stop Drag Action. This Action is usually placed in a Press Event.


Target
The target to apply the Start Drag Action to.

Locked
When locked, the center of the Sprite follows the mouse, otherwise the Sprite will simply follow the mouse movement

Constrained
When constrained, the Sprite stays within the specified rectangle.

Constrain to rectangle
The rectangle the Sprite is constrained to.

In the example below, the target "square" will start dragging when you press the mouse button on it.


Note: If you put a Press or Release Event on the Sprite itself, it will be exported as a button and no longer work as a Sprite. Also the dragging Actions will then apply to the Sprite or Movie that contain the Sprite (rather than the Sprite itself). Instead, put the mouse Events on a button or Object inside the Sprite
