I know this will sound stupid, cause I always take the most complicated way
to do the things, but I'll give a shot...
first I would set some global variables, like hotspot1state, hotspot2state,
hotspot3state and hotspotsfilled and some properties, like item1, item2,
item3, hotspot1, hotspot2 and hotspot3 (being the property, each one's
sprite number) and originalitem1Vposition, originalitem2Vposition,
originalitem3Vposition, originalitem1Hposition, originalitem2Hposition and
originalitem3Hposition (being the property the item's initial locV and locH).
I'll assume that the items' loch are always the same after putting them in
the match boxes and the item locv is different (like they were aligned to
the left, and one below the other)...
I'll also assume that item1 right position is on hotspot1 and so on...
then I would put an if statement on mouse up, for all items sprites, like this:
-- checks if there is an item in hotspot1 and sets the hotspot1state variable.
if item1.locv = hotspot1.locv or item2.locv = hotspot1.locv or item3.locv =
hotspot1.locv then
hotspot1state = 1
else
hotspot1state = 0
end if
-- checks if there is an item in hotspot2 and sets the hotspot2state variable.
if item1.locv = hotspot2.locv or item2.locv = hotspot2.locv or item3.locv =
hotspot2.locv then
hotspot2state = 1
else
hotspot2state = 0
end if
-- checks if there is an item in hotspot3 and sets the hotspot3state variable.
if item1.locv = hotspot3.locv or item2.locv = hotspot3.locv or item3.locv =
hotspot3.locv then
hotspot3state = 1
else
hotspot3state = 0
end if
-- checks if all hotspots are filled and sets variable hotspots
if hotspot1 + hotspot2 + hotspot3 = 3 then
hotspotsfilled = 1
else
hotspotsfilled = 0
end if
-- then you can put this in a confirm button, or just go on with the code
above...
-- checks if all hotspots are filled
if hotspotsfilled = 1 then
-- checks if all items are in their right places. If so, a message is
displayed.
if item1.locv = hotspot1.locv and item2.locv = hotspot2.locv and
item3.locv = hotspot3.locv then
alert "Congrats. All answers are right."
else
-- checks which items are in the wrong place and puts it back to its
original place and displays a message to try again.
if item1.locv <> hotspot1.locv then
item1.locv = originalitem1Vposition
item1.loch = originalitem1Hposition
end if
if item2.locv <> hotspot2.locv then
item2.locv = originalitem2Vposition
item2.loch = originalitem2Hposition
end if
if item3.locv <> hotspot3.locv then
item3.locv = originalitem3Vposition
item3.loch = originalitem3Hposition
end if
alert "Some answers were wrong. Please try again."
end if
end if
I think this should work fine, but like I said before, I always do things
in the hardest way. If you got lost or missed some part of it, just e-mail
me and I'll try to explain it in a... huh... simple way...
Catch ya later...
