Actionscript 2 declaring variables

[Aaron24]

hi just wondering if someone can tell me how I can declare a start variable on a draggable movieclip so that it snaps back to its starting position in once the stopDrag has been called

Hi, declare your var to start with, recall them when the drag stops
Esempio to start:

var xStart:Number = clip._x; //could also be a number
var yStart:Number = clip._y;

when the drag stops:

clip._x=xStart;
clip._y=yStart;

Then to apply to your code.

on (press) {
var x:Number = _122;
var y:Number = _223;
startDrag(this, true, 0, 0, 550, 400);
}
on (release) {
stopDrag();
_223=y
_122=x

startDrag(this, true, 0, 0, 550, 400);
}

Ciao,

sorry I did not understand your question.

[Aaron24]

the project on which we are working we have to be able to drag the movieclip around and have it snap back but if the user does not drag the clip around the screen it has to go to a different screen frame so the clip acts like a button aswell

[Onsitus]

Going to a different screen frame....a double click would be ok?

On one click it drags, on double click its goes to next screen.
