Dragging Movie-clips: maybe like dialog boxes?

[matt_atknsn]

Well, I'm working on my disclaimer dialog and some other dialogs in my site
([url]http://www.geocities.com/matt_atknsn[/url]).
I made a disclaimer dialog and want it to be draggable only when:
onCLipevent(mousedown) and the click is inside this movie clip and when it is
visible.

Does this mean I have to make a long script to check all the needed
mouseevents?

Thanks!

If it is like a dialog box, you can only drag from the bar at the top.

One suggestion, inside your disclaimer clip either put a bar at the top and
make it a button if you want to be able to drag from anywhere on the clip, make
a rectangle the full size of the clip, turn it into a button and edit the
button so that all frames are empty except the hit frame (it contains the
rectangle).

Whichever one you use, the button resides in the MC timeline so you can give
it the script:

on(press) {
startDrag(this);
}

on(release) {
stopDrag();
}

Thanks bro!

Now, instead of the button, I've made a movieclip inside the dialog box
instance to correspond with the dragging with this script:

onClipEvent(mousedown)
{
if Hittest(<all the required oparams here>, false) startDrag(_parent)}
}

Now the only problem now is to prevent all the other clickable stuff under
this dialog box to be disabled...

I guess more hittest checking

Cheers and thanks very much!
