Name
stopDrag( ) Global Function — end a drag operation in progress
Availability
Flash 4 and later
Synopsis
stopDrag( )
Description
The startDrag( )
function causes a movie clip to follow the
mouse pointer around the Stage. A stopDrag( )
operation stops a dragging movie clip from following the mouse
pointer. Because only one movie clip or movie may be dragged at a
time, stopDrag( )
does not require a
target
argument; it simply cancels any
drag operation in progress.
Together with startDrag( )
, stopDrag(
)
is used to create simple drag-and-drop interfaces in
Flash, as demonstrated under “Interface Widgets” in the
online Code Depot.
Example
The following button code causes a movie clip to be dragged while the button is pressed and dropped when the button is released:
on (press) { startDrag("", true); } on (release) { stopDrag( ); }
