flash (macromedia): Hi I am designing a task for kids with language problems it involves them
categorising household objects according to where they are found in the home. I
wish a household object to appear in the middle of the screen they place it in
the right area of the home and then another household object appears or even
using arrows like a slide show to prompt the next image to appear. How might
this be accomplished.

I am quite new to flash any help would be greatly appreciated.

Something like this:

You can download my .fla here:

I made three rooms and three items, but you can do as many as you'd like to:

The only real code is this:



onClipEvent(mouseDown) {
startDrag(this);
_root.answer1="";
}

onClipEvent(mouseUp) {
stopDrag();
if (this._droptarget == "/bathroom") {
_root.gotoAndStop(2);
}
else{
_root.answer1 = "wrong, please try again";
}
}

Hi thanks for the code, I am using images which complicates things a little. If
you would look at the files I would be most grateful roomsorting.fla is the
file I have generated all the images and targets are there. Dragright.fla is
the file that I am basing my actionscript on.

Just rename the files .fla (They're coming up as doc for some reason)

That's a good idea. See if this would be do something for you -
