I have 4 states of an object. I wish to insert different entry, and exit animation to each state. I tried doing that but it is not working. Pl. help. Thanks.
I think I could not communicate properly. I am not looking for drag and drop functionality. What I am looking for is- If I have created 4 states of an object, how can I animate each state with different entry and exit animation? Say 'Normal' state object enters with 'Fly In' from Bottom, but its second state enters with 'Spin' etc. etc.
Regarding your question about animating on exit with states. I believe it is possible.
First do as Phil suggests, copy and paste the object in the state, and choose your entry and exit animations for that object Then you can invoke the exit animation by changing the object's state to "hidden" before changing its state to the another state. Timing of the exit and entrance animation may not be perfect though without a bit more tweaking. Check out the attached.
This works great thanks! Kind of strange process but works well.
One note is that if you do NOT have a trigger on the drag object (say if you made a trigger on the timeline/base layer) this will NOT work. This must be on the drag object for it to work.

Thanks again Phil. It works perfectly.
Prakash,
This time also you sent wrong file.
I can't get this to work! Help Please!
Only the entrance animation would work, sorry Tim
Thanks for all the good advice!
Any ideas on this little problem?
No snap back to original position on my drag and drop if I use a feedback layer. Here is the interaction.
Thanks,
Tim
