I posted this earlier in the 'Basics' forum in error. I wonder if anybody here can help me.

I have used a script to 'shuffle' objects on the screen at random, which is working fine. But when I use those objects in a drag and drop activity with drag and drop properties set to 'return to original position if not dropped' they return to where they were initially located on the screen or in fact off the screen.

Is there a way for the 'new' position set in the script to be remembered as their 'original' position?

At the point where you have done the shuffle, you need to use the current positional data as the default for each object as follows

1). first read the new position details


2). reset the objects display data



Hope you can use these in your code, if not would be happy to see your code where you do the shuffle and can point you to how to use above...

I would really like to see the code your using. Am trying to achieve something similar myself - but am struggling to get a working script to randomly display the items.

The code that I have used for shuffling the cards can be found on a previous submission (including a downloadable example) by Steve H. I found it very useful and easily adaptable (for someone like myself with limited scripting skills).

But I haven't been able to reset the position of the cards to their shuffled position for drag and drop purposes. I'll have a try with eomc40's solution now.

Thanks for your help - but still having problems. Can I email it to you? Tried on the email supplied here but was bounced back to me.
