Problem with drag items

Hi,

I have created a drag and drop interaction where the drag items are shapes with text.

When running the interaction, it is very difficult to pick up the drag items. The mouse pointer only changes to a  hand at a specific point on the lower side of the object. This makes it very fiddly to pick up the object. I am expecting the mouse pointer to change whenever the user hovers over the object. Right now this only works for one of the drag items that is a text box rather then a shape. As some of my drag items are oval, I can't create all drag items as text boxes.

Does anybody know how to solve this problem?

Thanks,

Kerstin

Hi Kerstin,

Is it possible that you have created the drag items with no fill rather than a solid colour fill? I have experienced the same issue before but was able to resolve it by adding a solid fill.

If this doesn't resolve your issue, would you be able to post a .story file so we can have a closer look at the issue?

I wont take any credit for this but your drop items have no fill as Anthony suggested.  If you add a fill and set it to 100% transparent then it will work as expected.
