There are any number of ways to
If you decide on that method, check out dragImageOffset.

I was also thinking that hiding the object and using the dragImage might be
better, because if a the player drops a piece on an illegal position, you could
simply cancel the drag operation and show the original object.

Roger,
Rather than moving an object, think about using button icons. This is the
basic process:
- on mouseDown: check the icon of the target, set the icon of a hidden, moving
button to the same icon, set the icon of the target to 0, set a
flag—isDragging--to true, show the hidden button
- on
Just brainstorming, you would have to intercept mouseMove and then have a
tolerance of points to your grid. Say three points. Assuming your grid starts
at the top left of the window, you would div the top of the object with the
vertical grid width, check for tolerance above and below, then set t
What I do is to make a grid of named rectangles (they may or may not be
visible). I put the names of these into a variable or an array. On mouseUp I
traverse the variabel/array to check if the mouseLoc is within any of the
rectangles. When there is a match I set the loc of the grabbed control to
11 matches
