_droptarget (MovieClip._droptarget property)
public _droptarget : String [read-only]
Returns the absolute path in slash-syntax notation of the movie clip instance on which this
movie clip was dropped. The
_droptarget property always returns a path that starts with a
slash (
/). To compare the _droptarget property of an instance to a reference, use the eval()
function to convert the returned value from slash syntax to a dot-syntax reference
(ActionScript 2.0 does not support slash syntax.)
Note: This property is supported in Flash Lite only if
System.capabilities.hasMouse is
true or System.capabilities.hasStylus is true.
Availability: ActionScript 1.0; Flash Lite 2.0
Example
The following example evaluates the
_droptarget property of the garbage_mc movie clip
instance and uses
eval() to convert it from slash syntax to a dot syntax reference. The
garbage_mc reference is then compared to the reference to the trashcan_mc movie clip
instance. If the two references are equivalent, the visibility of
garbage_mc is set to false. If
they are not equivalent, the
garbage instance resets to its original position.
origX = garbage_mc._x;
origY = garbage_mc._y;
garbage_mc.onPress = function() {
this.startDrag();
};
garbage_mc.onRelease = function() {
this.stopDrag();
if (eval(this._droptarget) == trashcan_mc) {
this._visible = false;
} else {
this._x = origX;
this._y = origY;
}
};
