Swing Back

[gashed99]

I am currently working on Drag-Drop interface. I need some help on a piece of action script:

I am trying to make my draggble object return to its original position if the object is not placed on the target, to add to this piece of code

code:

on (press) {
this.startDrag(false);
}
on (release) {
this.stopDrag();
if (this.hitTest (_root.target)) {
this.stopDrag();
this._visible = false;
_root.target.nextFrame();
}
}

At the moment the object just stays where you last had it.

here is the example at the moment:

If any one could help on this I'd be most grateful.

If the hit test is wrong, bad, or whatever... Can't you just go back to the frame where the object was in it's original position... Otherwise move on!

ok Jim

here's the final working version of this, including the 'Swing Back' when the user drop's the object in the wrong place.
