Ok, got it. Thanks for the suggestion. I tried this but it doesn't work with the third-party flash movie I am looking at. They have an movie clip with _alpha set to 0 that covers the stage at a depth higher than all other visible elements. As a result _droptarget is always set to that object. What I need is something that takes into account visibility.
Any other thoughts on this? -- Vishal On 2/6/07, Mike Mountain <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
What he's saying is that _droptarget will tell you exactly what is at the top under the users mouse - but in order to use it you have to use startDrag to fool it in to working. Maybe you could drag an invisible clip around or something.
