help with dragging.

[kayess]

please help. I'm trying to make a draggable menu in a jukebox. I did it the same as in the draggable menu tut. the difference is, that the whole menu is inside of a clip with masking and such. the problem is I don't get any errors when I test it but the dragger clip just disappears when I click it. anyone encountered this before?

there must be a problem in your code. you can e-mail me the FLA and i can take a look.

on the dragger you have this code::

onClipEvent (load) {
yold = _y ;
}
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if (dragging) {
_y = _root._ymouse ;
dydrag = _y + yold ;
yold = _y;
_root.sounds.screen.soundlinks._y += 3*dydrag ;
}
}


just change the _y = _root._ymouse to _y = _parent._ymouse

that will fix it. What happened was that it was not disappearing, it was moving down off of the screen because when you called for _root._ymouse, its y value was off the screen for the root of that MC, however, for the parent of the MC it works perfectly fine.

If you have anymore questions e-mail or post. Very nice looking site. I wish I had the capabilities and the imagination to make up a site like that. Very professional looking. Very clean. Nice Job. Let me know when it is finished.
