Re: [Dynapi-Dev] Faking Events

[Jordi 'I. M. <jmi...@or...>]

If you only want to drag the Flash place keep a pair of variables inside your
Movie.

oldX oldY

and then, when you detect movement inside the movie and the mouse is pressed:

GetURL("javascript:myHolder.moveBy("+(_xmouse-oldX)+","+(_ymouse-oldY)+")")
oldX = _xmouse
oldY = _ymouse

It should do the trick. I think

I hope my Flash knowledge doesn't get me banned from the project :)
