*slinks in post #1.... you can just smell the newbie*
Anyways, I'm working on an independent project for school, programming a game in flash. I've done flash work, but little actionscripting beyond 'mouseover' events and such.
I'm making a game based off of Mage Knight (http://www.mageknight.com). It's a tabletop game, using minatures on dials as warriors. I'm early in the project still, having just done a decent amount of flowcharting.
I'm not looking for people to hand me chumks of code, as I DO want to end up learning something. But I haven't found what I am looking for from browsing online tutorials, and having heard my professors confess they themselves know nothing, I've been reduced to forum begging. ^^;;. If it is allright, I may necropost this thread often to ask for assistance.
What I want is for a user to click on an object (minature) and drag it around. This was easy enough, but I only want to let the drag it around within a set radius of the origional objects x/y position. How would I do this?
