{
lineStyle( 0, 0x0000FF, 100 );
beginFill( 0xFF0000 );
moveTo( 500, 500 );
curveTo( 600, 500, 600, 400 );
curveTo( 600, 300, 500, 300 );

Availability
Flash Player 4.
Usage
my_mc._droptarget
Description
Property (read-only); returns the absolute path in slash syntax notation of the movie clip instance
on which
my_mc 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.
Note: You must perform this conversion if you are using ActionScript 2.0, which does not support
slash syntax.
Example
The following example evaluates the _droptarget property of the garbage movie clip instance
and uses
eval() to convert it from slash syntax to a dot syntax reference. The garbage reference
is then compared to the reference to the trash movie clip instance. If the two references are
equivalent, the visibility of
garbage is set to false. If they are not equivalent, the garbage
instance is reset to its original position.
if (eval(garbage._droptarget) == _root.trash) {
garbage._visible = false;
} else {
garbage._x = x_pos;
garbage._y = y_pos;
}
The variables x_pos and y_pos are set on Frame 1 of the SWF file with the following script:
x_pos = garbage._x;
y_pos = garbage._y;
