Dragable Objects unlimited

[killbuzz]

Okay, What i want to do is make a many dragable objects, but when you take one, the object stays in the place you took it from so you can drag more. WHat im trying to do is make a program that will allow me to use the same object over for many things with out having to make 50 of the same objects.


I need to know the code for draging, and if there is some way to do the unlimited objects....


thanks

Try this - you'll need a clip in the library with linkage set to 'clipToBeDuped':

clip = this.attachMovie('clipToBeDuped', 'clip', 0);
clip.onPress = function() {
	newClip = this.duplicateMovieClip('copy'+num, num);
	trace(newClip);
	newClip.startDrag(true);
	num++;
	this.onMouseUp = function() {
		newClip.stopDrag();
	};
};
_global.num = 1;
//
stop();

What do you mean, "library with linkage set to 'clipToBeDuped'" I dont understand?

Also what do i name the clip? Or what was the name of the clip in this code so i can change that because im using a lot of objects..

Thanks wang

Build your clip in the normal way. Select the symbol in the library and right click - select 'linkage' from the menu which pops up - check 'export for actionscript' and then type in the name 'clipToBeDuped' where it says 'Identifier'.

This means the clip can be used in the movie via the 'attachmovie' command - you don't actually need to place the clip on the stage manually, the actionScript above will do it for you.

Then the above script should work for you. It's important to use attachMovie in this example to bring in the clip as it means you can use 'duplicateMovieClip' to create copies of it.
