I've got a set of panels that are draggable, but at times I want to be able to disable / enable them... I'm sure this is the correct way to do so, but getting an undefined error... 

 

dragArray=[];

totalPanels=10;

 for (n=1; n<=totalPanels; n++){
dragArray[n] = Draggable.create("#slide"+n, {cursor:"pointer", type:"left,top", throwProps:true, onDrag:function(){  peopleParallax(); }, onClick:function(){     slideClick(currentRollover);    }, dragClickables:true,  edgeResistance:0.9, bounds:'#siteContainer'});
 }
 
 
Can I not use dragArray[n] = and then the draggable code? and then use
 
dragArray[2].disable();
dragArray[2].enable();

Just an additional thought...

 

It looks like you are using the loop strictly to generate unique IDs for each Draggable item: "#slide"+n

 

You can get rid of the loop if you find another way to select the elements perhaps give them all the same class

 

<div id="slides">

   <div id="slide1" class="draggable">

   <div id="slide2" class="draggable">

   <div id="slide3" class="draggable">

</div>

 

Then you can just do

dragArray = Draggable.create(".draggable", {yourVars}) 

or select each div that is a direct child of the #slides div

dragArray = Draggable.create("#slides > div", {yourVars})

without a loop as those selectors would grab all of your slides and create Draggables for each one.  Again, just an idea. In order to use more advanced selectors like the ones used above, you would need jQuery or another selector engine loaded.

Cool, just to be clear I'm not saying to ditch the IDs, just that you don't need to loop through them to create an Array.

 

Also, another tip, you don't need to go back into your array to find the Draggables (although that is perfectly fine), you can use Draggable.get().

Draggable.get("#slide1").disable()

just giving some options, again your way is perfectly fine.

 

Happy Dragging! ;)
