Finding name of an image I just dropped another image on

[Livecoder]

Hi everyone. I am developing a game in which you can drag and drop different images around the screen using

Code: Select all

grab

I have image "Red" and i want to know the name of the image i just dropped it on without having to have a whole heap of code manually checking each possibility. Any ideas on how I could go about this?

Thanks

Hi Livecoder,
That was FUN!
Without a ton of code use a repeat loop and check if the loc of img "RED" (more robust if you say the loc of me) "is within" the rect of one of the other images.

OK so that is very cryptic, but see if you can figure out what I'm talking about. I did it in 9 lines.
If you still have trouble just ask

Hi Livecoder:
Put the following code in the card script:

Code: Select all

global gTheObjectUnder

on mouseEnter
put the name of the target into gTheObjectUnder
end mouse Enter

on mouseLeave
put empty into gTheObjectUnder
end mouseLeave

The global will contain the name of the underlying object (until the mouse leaves the object).

Regards,
Sri
