Can anyone help with states and drag and drop objects

May 07, 2014

I am trying to create a log in prompt based off of a software simulation for a course I am working on.  The problem i am facing is that the customer want the window to act just like the software would work on windows.  They want the window to be able to be dragged around the stage.  I have that part figured out the problem i am facing is to have the window be dragable i had to group all of the objects on the window and it works except for the user id selection which selects both ID's when i drag the window, the same goes for the hotspots or buttons i create to mimic the OK and Cancel buttons.  I attached  a graphic and the story file if anyone has an idea on how to correct this issue i will be eternally grateful.

Hey Sean,

I added two triggers on the group to change the state of both of those objects to normal when clicked. This prevented them from being selected. This also changed them to normal after a user selects an option and then moves it again.  A variable might keep the selection selected but didn't know if this was a necessary step.
