I'm trying to simulate a click on a cell of a spreadsheet, followed by dragging the mouse up to highlight
multiple cells. Then I need a button to check whether the drag was done sucessfully, leading to a "great job" animation. I've got the drag and drop actionscript to sort of work, but I need the mouse movement to drive the movieclip of the dragging highlight, and the movieclip to not wander across the page. So far I have a button embedded within the movieclip, to hold the actionscript, and the animated highlight within the movieclip. But I haven't found a way to get the onmousedrag to directly push through the frames in the movieclip. Is there a way??
Someone please help!!!!!
