Need help snapping...Please!

[GNG]

Hi guys, a buddy and I have been trying to figure this one out - maybe
someone out there has either done this or seen something similar. We're
working on a "circuit tester" and we can't seem to figure out how to connect
the wires. (I know - the most important part :) Anyways, any suggestions or
snippets of code that could get the user to draw a line or simliar from one
device to the other and have this line "snap" to the terminals on the
connecting device? Also - maybe an idea how to keep track of such a thing.

Alright - here's a link to the interface - you'll see the idea when you
visit
it - we have been on this "snap-to-the device" thing for awhile now. Any
help is appreciated.

if you use the learning interaction models in Flash, you can use the drag
and drop interactions and specify target areas. both the target and the
initial can be customized to be made draggable, then you just use the
snippets of code that allow you to target specific x and y points on your
target area.
