Hi,

I have a number of drag and drop images into a drop zone. Is there an automatic way so that the last object dropped is displayed on top of the others, currently their order follows the order in the objects list. Ideally the natural way the user would expect is that the last item be displayed on top.

I have tried to use the set to layer, but I cannot get this to work with each individual drag items.

Trigger: This Object Dropped All Objects
this.SetLayer(MoneyLayer++);

This was designed so when the drag image is dropped it would automatically set the layer above what was previously dropped. But I cannot get it to work.

Any suggestions.

UPDATE:
I have it working, but I have to click a button to set the layer to make it work, as having it set automatically for ObjectDropped, VariableChange, MouseOff and a few others just won't work. I can manually click a button that will work. Very strange, any ideas?



I would like the drag and dropped improved with more triggers. Will post this in the wish list, including more scripting to check dropped objects in a zone.

Just two.

1. if it ain't broke - don't wish for it to be fixed

Currently you cannot change the layer on drop, if you have the following code with i = 0 to begin with, then on drop each item is set to i++, so the object will display on top of the last. In theory this should work with the drop trigger of the object being dropped. With the following code: this.SetLayer(i++);

But I cannot get it to work, I can have a button and the following code on dropped object: ObjectDroppedName.SetLayer(i++);

This is the same code, but the dropped code seems to be implemented as the object is dropped, not after it being dropped. This is the only conclusion I can come to, as otherwise the original code used on the draggable object should work when dropped.

So any ideas?

yes, I'd suggest you wait().

I think so, cool thanks for reading Mack.
