[Xerte] Re: Drag and drops

[Dave Burnett]

Nothing fancy, just don't want the target to accept the item unless the item is completely within target.

I know I can do a set of conditions based on xywh to see if the thing is completely within, but was wondering if there might be an intrinsic way.

I was hoping for no bleed then I could just test if the object was still hitting background, but you're right, it's not fussy.

You want to constrain it to only move over the target? Or to only register the event when dropped over the target, other drops don’t do anything / something different? hitTest isn’t fussy about layers, I think.  What’s the scenario?

Such fun for a Friday!

I'm thinking about using a combination of target areas and hitTest to do some drag/drop things.

Couple questions:
 - Any way to constrain things so a dragged object has to be totally within the target area before it registers a hit?

 - Do hitTests penetrate layers?
e.g. if I had a mask covering the screen and a target represented by a graphic in the next icon, if I drag an item completely onto the graphic will it register a hittest for both?
