got my drag/drop quiz working now - thanks
wonder if i could pick your brains a little more - do you know how to "tell" something to take more than one frame to get to it's target within actionscript? at the moment they jump immediatly to their targets/home and i would like them to glide gracefully ;)
i.e. tweening, but from within actionscript

then put the movement after that. give it an instance name and tell it to play

the MC is being dragged, so it could be dropped anywhere - i.e. i couldn't have the movement within the MC as it would change each time it was dropped (is this right?)

the user will drag it to a target, and it will slide to the centre - if they drop it off-target it will slide back to it's start position.

if (correct = true) {
_root.draggable;
gotoandplay(2);
} else {
//it wont work for this it'll just snap back

i would think it would go to somewhere relative to the place it was dropped, rather than a pre-determined absolute location?

its possible you could find some movement script and adapt it to your needs, such as making it move at a certain speed to a certain point

which has the smooth-bit included - however it no longer works when i set it up for multiple targets (as we discussed last night)
I can't see where i'm going wrong so just wondered if you knew what the relevant section was..
i assumed it was the "/5" part, but if i include that, the drag just moves a small (1/5?) distance towards the target - without it it snaps in one frame

this._x -= (this._x-this.myFinalX)/5;
this._y -= (this._y-this.myFinalY)/5;

this._x -= (this._x-this.myFinalX)/5;
this._y -= (this._y-this.myFinalY)/5;
so it takes the current position takes off your final xy each time, try putting /5 in the () or spaces somewhere
or perhaps you need an onclipevent(enterframe) {
this._x -= (this._x-this.myFinalX)/5;
this._y -= (this._y-this.myFinalY)/5;
}
because then it will move slowly back, /5 should be the speed. You might need an if clause to stop it though so it doesn't use up cpu power when still doing that equation

you just need to keep doing it until you are close enough, so in the next frame put a gotoandplay back to this frame.
This causes it to loop forever, so in this frame, you need to check if it's as near as dammnit to where it should be, along the lines of
if abs(this._x-this.myFinalX)

YOU made ME happy. i had THE MOST boring day (i'm supposedly an IT enfgineer) but because the day was SOOO boring i hacked into the government web server (i would never normally do this) and scrolled down to your anim,,,,
yes... it took ages to download....
BUT this resulted in the BEST pythonesk/adderesk overindulgent strained humour i have encountered for a long time and honestly...
before the yak threw up... long before...
i was already crying tears of joy...
i was taken from my place of work
i was teleported beyond this realm
and more than i can remember in MONTHS
MONTHS (i mean it) i was happy, happily crying tears of laughter, real laughter that i haven't produced in... well... bloody ages....
this anim did something good to me and i shall always fondly remember it (becuase i've saved it to my HDD)
i just wanted to say thankyou. even if i was to only person that ever saw it... i swear... it would have been worth your effort creating it because it did 'things' to me
like i said... the big file size is a bonus... it stretches out the humour.... until you are in pain from the laughter... actual pain
remember the simpsons episode with the rakes in the face....
like that.... only.....
better.
thankyou. i think i love you.
