Goddam actionscript!

[F1Krazy]

Man, this is fuking fustrating(damn I spelt fucking frustrating wrong)

I decided I was bored of movies so I made a Flash dress-up game. Or tried to. First, I made a stickman. Then, i made a blue t-shirt. I converted it to a button, and inserted the following actionscript-

on(press){startDrag(Shirt);}on(release){st
opDrag'}'

I swear to God that 'Shirt' was its instance name.
And yet, when I test the goddam thing, a little box comes up telling me, 'syntax error!'

Goddam it, I don't even know what syntax is , but that's not the important thing, 'coz the important thing is that the goddam Actionscript won't let me make anything other than crappy sprite movies, 'coz I get buggered when I try anything that isn't a movie!!!

SOMEONE HELP ME GODDAMMIT!

on(press){
startDrag("");
}
on(release, releaseOutside){
stopDrag();
}

Place it on the MovieClips that you want to be draggable.

Dood! First, make it MC, not button (doesn't matter much, you can animate it, that's all). Then, if you can't get a drag function right, you can't get nothing right!

on(press) {
this.startDrag()
}
on(release) {
this.stopDrag()
}

Thank you, all u experienced dudes that really helped. And I'm not being sarcastic here, converting to movie clips seems a good idea. OK, maybe I'll try that. Hope it works. :)

Damn. Damn, damn, damn, damn.

I've been trying these codes for a new Sonic Dress-up game I'm making (I'm not submitting it to Newgrounds, it'll go the way of my other 5 submissions and get blammed), and nothing works! I've tried every improvisation trick I can think of, and nothing works.

AND I can't remember for the life of me what flipping ActionScript code I used for my other dress-up game, which worked.

Dang it, where am I going wrong NOW?!!

Why not just put this on the movieclip(s) you want to drag ...

on(press){
startDrag(this);
}

on(release){
stopDrag();
}

I believe thats what you wanted lol, if not, just say :P
