I know I can make objects draggable on a drag&drop freeform question.
Possible to make an object draggable/movable on a slide that isn't a drag & drop slide?
I'm wanting to make an instruction box that can be moved about the screen if it is obscuring the relevant portions of the screen. I could make a minimize interaction, but I'd prefer draggable if possible.
Hi Timothy, just make a target object off the stage that the user will never see and then make a trigger that changes the instruction box state to Normal when dropped on. Like this example.
This is just what I was looking for (thanks Richard)! However, I cannot get my draggable item to stick like Richard's. It always returns to its original position. I tried with a simple rectangle (thinking it was because the drag item is a group). I tried changing the revising state from reset to resume saved and automatically decide, but did not help.

Love your file names and shape names. Good sense of humor.
So it seems we can make an item draggable by creating a trigger and defining an offscreen target. Fantastic!
Thanks for the help Richard

Does anyone have a suggestion?

Hi, Glenda.
Thank you for sharing your .story file!
If you right-click the Hint box, select Drag and Drop, you can uncheck Drag return:
Let me know if this works!
OMG. How embarrasing. Thanks!
