The Code

Here is the first piece of code that will run as the movie starts. This is the code located in the first (and only) keyframe of the Code layer.

Set Variable: "count" = 0
Loop While (count <= 6)
    Set Property ("/ball" & count, X Position) = getproperty ("/target" & count, _x)
    Set Property ("/ball" & count, Y Position) = getproperty ("/target" & count, _y)
    Set Property ("/balla" & count, X Position) = getproperty ("/target" & count, _x)
    Set Property ("/balla" & count, Y Position) = getproperty ("/target" & count, _y)
    Set Variable: "count" = count + 1
End Loop
Set Variable: "current_targetX" = 0
Set Variable: "current_targetY" = 0
Set Variable: "ballpos1" = 1
Set Variable: "ballpos2" = 2
Set Variable: "ballpos3" = 3
Set Variable: "ballpos4" = 4
Set Variable: "ballpos5" = 5
Set Variable: "ballpos6" = 6
Set Variable: "first" = 0
Set Variable: "last" = 0
Set Variable: "ballnum" = 0
Set Variable: "resident1" = 0
Set Variable: "resident2" = 0
Stop

The first loop here simply sets ball1 through ball6 and balla1 through balla6 to the location of each target. So now we have one ball and one balla on each target. The rest is a series of variables that will be used in the 'code' movie clip.

I won't go into detail here on how to set up a dragable movie clip since that has been covered in other tutorials. This code needs to be inserted into each dragable movie clip. Double click one of the dragable movie clips in your library, then double click the button that is contained within it, go to the actions tab, and insert this code.
