actionscript

[cepticmind]

How could I make it so that when the mouse arrow goes over an object it drags with it? I don't want to have to press on it to drag.

if you use a button to call the drag script i'd usually look like this:

on(press) {
startDrag("");
}

but since you want it to happen when the mouse rolls over you'll have to use this:

on(rollOver) {
startDrag("");
}

I'm trying to learn ActionScript myself, but I don't really understand what the ' and { and } are for. Is there any good answer for that?

on(press) <== event handler

{ <== start actions

startDrag("") <== startDrag() is a method, the () are used for parameters like in this case the instance name of a movieclip. the "" indicate an empty string. Which means for the startDrag() method that it refers to the clip it currently is in.

} <== end of action block
