two buttons in two mc's

[Seticus]

Strange, but I have never before noticed this problem, maybe you guys can help me:

I've got two movieclips, containing each two buttons. I was thinking about giving the buttons the following AS:


on (keyPress "+") {
if (pushed == true) {
startDrag("_root.mc2");
pushed = false;
} else if (pushed == false) {
stopDrag();
pushed = true;
}
}


for the button in "mc2" and


on (keyPress "+") {
if (pushed == true) {
startDrag("_root.mc1");
pushed = false;
} else if (pushed == false) {
stopDrag();
pushed = true;
}
}

for the button in "mc1".

In the first frame in the root:


mc1.pushed = true;
mc2.pushed = true;


This won't work, because flash doesn't know which mc he has to move when "+" is pressed, but I still want this to work. Any ideas? It's weird, when you want to drag one, you always start dragging the lower one...

You can't drag 2+ instances at the same time with startDrag.
See http://proto.layer51.com/d.aspx?f=845. ;)

You mean like this ?

mm, something like that, but now you can start dragging the other mc when you're not even on it. It should be something like this, use the "-" and the "+" keys to drag them and release them. I want to use the "+" key for both of them...

I thought it was possible, maybe by using Key.getAscii(); ?

sorry forgot to add the attachement

So let me get this straight: when you press +, you want to start dragging one. When you press + again, you want them both to be dragged. And when you press -, you want the last one that was dragged to stop being dragged. And if you press - again, none will be dragged anymore. Correct ?

[Voetsjoeba]

Like this then ?

it's a cool effect, but that's not it. I found it: check attachement

This is what I wanted, when you move your mouse over one mc, and press + you start dragging that one. When you press + again, you drop it. This for both mc's, it caused some trouble, the solution was working with Key.getAscii();

Thanks a lot, hope to see you around :)

Aah, I see ... then why were you talking about the "-" ? :P Glad you got it working :)

[Seticus]

if I used "+" to drag both mc's it didn't work, so I changed one to "-" and gave it to you... :p

[Voetsjoeba]

Lol :P

Anyways, you got it working the way you wanted it to, that's what matters :)
