How do you make Drag and Drop item disappear?

[Lizzie]

I am making a movie where you pick up an item and drop it into a bag. I want the item to disappear when it is dropped. How do I do that? [sig][/sig]

You either change the visibility property of the movieclip to 0 or unload it. If you prefer to use unload, you need to previously load the movieclip at a different level with the load movie action.

To change the visibility property just go to the actions window of your triger object and add a Set Property action to the On Release. So your action window will have something like this:

On (Press)
Start Drag ("_level0/mc", lockcenter)
End On
On (Release)
Stop Drag
Set Property ("_level0/mc", Visibility) = false
End On

_level0/mc is the name of the movieclip that will disappear.
Two things to remember:

- Name your movieclip. Select it and open the properties window, now in the definition tab make sure that your movie's name is there. In this example: mc

- When you assign the value false to the Visibility property, make sure that it is a variable. There should be an equal sign in the button and not an abc sign.

That is it.

Good luck
