Let me know how you get on!

Thank you! That did help. I now see actionscript similar to:

on (press) {
    startDrag ("/Eyes2");
}
on (release) {
    stopDrag ();
}

Now I have to play around with exactly how this work and see what I come up with!

Thanks!

This confused me at first but:
open sample
right click on an object, then select edit in new window
right click the object again, then select properties
select the actions tab & you'll see what makes it move

Hope this helps

Ah. I didn't see that example. Thank you for the heads up.

I still don't quite understand how it is moved about. I mean there are no actions associated with that frame (no flash actionscript). And each item's properites are just simply marked as 'buttons'.

Hm, am I missing something here?

Thanks for your help...

In the samples in Flash there is one called Eggplant which does just that, can you look at that & work out how it's done??
