RE: [Dynapi-Dev] Faking Events

[Tim R. <ti...@my...>]

whoa. that's the best idea yet. (I tried the earlier idea fo the cover DIV,
but didn't get too far (though I didn't pursue it to a final conclusion,
either)).

This... This is great! AT least, in theory, it's great. I'll try it today
and see what happens.

Thanks big time!

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 :)
