Snapping

[WILLIE8768]

hi
I have a problem in my scripting in which i want to snap one model to the
other.
I have two model's sphere01 n sphere02.
To move the model's i have used the `Drag Model Behaviour' and a `Mouse Left
Trigger'.
I want sphere01 to snap to sphere 02 when i drag it near to sphere02.
The position of sphere01 is (vector(-140,37,95)) n after snapping i want it to
be (vector(-46,0,0)).
The script i have written is like this:

property pSprite
property pMember
property pPosition

on beginSprite me

pSprite = sprite(me.spritenum)
pMember = pSprite.member

pPosition = pMember.model("sphere01").transform.position.loc

end

on mouseUp me
if pPosition>=(vector(100,0,0)) and pPosition<=(vector(-10,0,0)) then

put pPosition = (vector(-46,0,0))

end if

end

PLz can someone solve my problem out.

maybe you could use the vector object's distanceTo() method. i've not tried
this modification of your code, but i think it or something like it will work.
change SOME_FLOATING_POINT_NUMBER to be however close the two have to be
together to trigger the snap. you'll probably have to experiment to see what
you want it to be. let us know how it goes.

property pSprite
property pMember
property pPositionS1
property pPositionS2

on beginSprite me

pSprite = sprite(me.spritenum)
pMember = pSprite.member

pPositionS1 = pMember.model("sphere01").transform.position
pPositionS2 = pMember.model("sphere02").transform.position

end

on mouseUp me

if pPositionS1.distanceTo(pPositionS2) <= SOME_FLOATING_POINT_NUMBER then

pMember.model("sphere01").transform.position = (vector(-46,0,0))

end if

end

Hi,

I'm realy new to Flex and gaining some experience at the moment. I wanted to
make a programm where I can drag panels around and if I come close to an other
panel they will snap to each other. (Like in Winamp or other programms)

I know how dragging is done but how can I make the panels "snap" to each other?
