Transform manager and display list [SOLVED]

[evan 0 Likes (Newbie)]

I noticed -at least the way I am going about it that when movieclips are nested inside movieclips -the transformManager doesn't like them.

 

What I want to accomplish is to display a gallery in a scrollbar -nest the movies in that scrollbar, and then drag them from the scrollbar and place them in a designated area. (reparenting on stopDrag)

 

once placed -I dissable startDrag(); and stopDrag(); and have an event place the movieclip into transformManager -it "doesn't play nicely".

 

Either I'm doing it wrong, or is transformManager not set up to work with movieclips inside other movieclips

You're using the AS3 version of TransformManger, right? You mentioned the display list, so I assume so.

 

As stated in the documentation and on the blog, all of the items that a particular TransformManager is managing must share the same parent. It's a long explanation as to why. But if you want to reparent things, you could create a new TransformManager instance to manage that reparented clip.
