Drag and Drop

Make it draggable

To make an interface element on the stage draggable you will need a combination of the movie symbol and a button symbol.

• Create a movie symbol with button symbol inside it.
• In the button event handler enter the following code

  
  
  on(press) {
  	startDrag(this);
  	
  }
  on(release) {
  	stopDrag();
  	
  }
  

  We also added the dynamic text. Variable "thetext" has been assigned to the text and it's "selectable" property has been unchecked in Properties Inspector – to prevent interference of the text and the button itself.

  To change the text we added thetext="thank you"; to on press event and thetext="drag me"; on release event
