onClipEvent (load) {
_quality = "high";
moveSpeed = 10;
}
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if (Key.isDown(Key.RIGHT, true)) {
this._x += moveSpeed;
_root.dude.gotoAndStop(2);
} else if (Key.isDown(Key.UP, true)) {
this._y -= moveSpeed;
_root.dude.gotoAndStop(4);
} else if (Key.isDown(Key.DOWN, true)) {
this._y += moveSpeed;
_root.dude.gotoAndStop(5);
} else if (Key.isDown(Key.LEFT, true)) {
this._x -= moveSpeed;
_root.dude.gotoAndStop(3);
} else {
_root.dude.gotoAndStop(1);
}}
if (this.hitTest(_root.hitbox)) {onClipEvent {setProperty(_root.this._x += movespeed=0);
}
}
}

I thinck your code is wrong....
You have to put:
on (press){
startDrag("");
}
on (release){
stopDrag();
not:
on (press) {
startDrag("", true);
}

had the same problem, so i changed the beginning of the code to this:
on (press) {
startDrag(this);
}
works now! ^_^

It could be! but I dont know... I think its true by default. So leaving true out is the same as saying ture. but if its not then nice catch.

Yeah that IS odd, I checked it out, and it doesn't seem to be working like mine do. Are you absoulutely sure you added the
on (release) {
stopDrag();
}
Part of the code in? and not something llike
on (click) {.... or something?
other than that, I'm glad my tutorial was helpful

Cheers for the lesson, have just recently started fiddling with flash and though I figured out the basics of layering and frames...I hadn't a clue how to use the actions panel and all flash examples I've downloaded only allow me to play them, never see the code to figure out how the damn things work. Guess it's much like java script infact it may even be java script LOL, what do I know I'm mostly old skool still!!

yeah, it is alot like java, but its totally object oriented which kind of confuses me sometimes, since it means you have to go search for specific peices of code in different objects. I'm allways glad to hear that I was of some type of help.

i thought it was very good, i dont know if i will use it anytime soon, because i am new with flash, but it was definitely easy to understand, but i didnt quite grasp the jigsaw puzzle, i didnt think i would, but i wanted to try it..it is excellent.!

Hey thanks for the comment, I was afraid that nobody would understand me becasue I tend to have a hard time explaining things. Good luck with your flash work.
