Adding a New Drag Object

Getting Started

You'll use the same Flash file and see how to duplicate a Drag object to create a new one. And you'll practice customizing the new Drag object by adding a new image to it and renaming it, as you did in earlier lessons.

Watch the Demo: Adding a New Drag Object [running time 01:14 min.]

Summary

You learned how to duplicate a Drag object to create new object for your quiz. And you learned how to add the new Drag object to the stage. You should be able to apply what you know to create other Drag objects. Can you see where this is going, with all of these food graphics and category targets?

Procedure

• Select an object in the Library.
• Open the Context menu
• Select Duplicate...
• In the Duplicate Symbol window, give the new object a name
• Edit the new object by replacing the duplicated image with a new one, just as you learned in the earlier lesson
• Place the new Drag object on the stage

Preview

Next you'll use the same Flash file. You'll duplicate a Target object, customize it, and associate it with the new Drag object, using the component inspector to modify the Drag and Drop Interaction.
