Hey, thanks for your reply. Here is the code:

[CODE]var counter:Number = 0;
function dragSetup(clip, targ) {
if(counter == 15){
reply_txt.text = "Congratulations, you're finished!";
}
clip.onPress = function() {
startDrag(this);
this.beingDragged=true;
};
clip.onRelease = clip.onReleaseOutside=function () {
stopDrag();
this.beingDragged=false;
if (eval(this._droptarget) == targ) {
this.onTarget = true;
reply_txt.text="You got it!";
} else {
this.onTarget = false;
reply_txt.text="No, keep trying!";

}
};
//the variables below will store the clips starting position
clip.myHomeX = clip._x;
clip.myHomeY = clip._y;
//the variables below will store the clips end position
clip.myFinalX = targ._x;
clip.myFinalY = targ._y;
clip.onEnterFrame = function() {
//all these actions basically just say "if the mouse is up (in other words - the clip is not being dragged)
// then move the MC back to its original starting point (with a smooth motion)"
if (!this.beingDragged && !this.onTarget) {
this._x -= (this._x-this.myHomeX)/5;
this._y -= (this._y-this.myHomeY)/5;
//if the circle is dropped on any part of the target it slides to the center of the target
} else if (!this.beingDragged && this.onTarget) {
this._x -= (this._x-this.myFinalX)/5;
this._y -= (this._y-this.myFinalY)/5;
}
};
}
dragSetup(bag1_mc,targetbag);

The whole fla is a design for a drag and drop exercise.
Basically the counter wont add up proprely. I can't see why. I have 15 objects that move on to target areas. For example if you drag one of the objects in to the correct target area it adds one to the total. When all 15 objects are in the correct target palece, it alerts thhe viewer to let them know thay have succesfully completed the course. I cant get the counter to add up the items properly.

Hope this helps!

Your dragSetup function is being called only when the movie loads. You must call it each time a drag operation concludes in order to update your counter.

First of all, thanks for your reply! I'm not sure i know how to do that. Do you have an example of it that i could look at please?
