SwishMax2 SWF in Captivate: _droptarget problems -- PLS HELP

[frodo19v]

I have a drag&drop SwishMax2 app that runs fine in Flash Player. It checks where you drop a movie clip (using this._droptarget) and does something based on where you drop it.

Running the SWF standalone gives me the correct "dropzone" in slash notation: /truthsZone/truthsZone or /liesZone/liesZone.

When I import the SWF into Captivate 3, drop the movie clip, and debug the value of its "this._droptarget", it always returns "/contentShade_mc" as the string value, regardless of where I drop it.

Does anyone have any idea why this is happening? Is Captivate somehow interfering with the _droptarget value? Has anyone else out there imported SWFs with drag & drop code into Captivate 3 and had similar problems?

Thanks! Fred

Solved the problem.

Did dome digging and it looks like _droptarget always returns whatever it hits, starting from the main time (highest depth) - which is the Captivate movie clip in this case. Used the hitTest() method instead, and it works fine now.

Thx - Fred

I had the same problem and this helped me.  Thanks for posting after you'd figured it out.
