Unconstrained movement is appropriate for puzzles and other drag-and-drop games. For slider controls and moveable
scenery such as file drawers, curtains, and mini-blinds, select constrained movement.
6. For constrained movement, enter values (in pixels) in the Up, Down, Left, and Right boxes.
Values are relative to the starting position of the AP element. To constrain movement within a rectangular region, enter
positive values in all four boxes. To allow only vertical movement, enter positive values for Up and Down and 0 for Left and
Right. To allow only horizontal movement, enter positive values for Left and Right and 0 for Up and Down.
7. Enter values (in pixels) for the drop target in the Left and Top boxes.
The drop target is the spot to which you want the visitor to drag the AP element. An AP element is considered to have
reached the drop target when its left and top coordinates match the values you enter in the Left and Top boxes. Values are
relative to the top left corner of the browser window. Click Get Current Position to automatically fill the text boxes with the
current position of the AP element.
8. Enter a value (in pixels) in the Snap If Within box to determine how close the visitor must get to the drop target before the AP
element snaps to the target.
Larger values make it easier for the visitor to find the drop target.
9. For simple puzzles and scenery manipulation, you can stop here. To define the drag handle for the AP element, track the
movement of the AP element while it is being dragged, and trigger an action when the AP element is dropped, click the
Advanced tab.
10. To specify that the visitor must click a particular area of the AP element to drag the AP element, select Area within element
from the Drag Handle menu; then enter the left and top coordinates and the width and height of the drag handle.
This option is useful when the image inside the AP element contains an element that suggests dragging, such as a title bar or
drawer handle. Do not set this option if you want the visitor to be able to click anywhere in the AP element to drag it.
11. Select any While Dragging options that you want to use:
Select Bring Element To Front if the AP element should move to the front of the stacking order while it is being dragged. If
you select this option, use the pop-up menu to select whether to leave the AP element in front or restore it to its original
position in the stacking order.
Enter JavaScript code or a function name (for example, monitorAPelement()) in the Call JavaScript box to repeatedly
execute the code or function while the AP element is being dragged. For example, you could write a function that monitors
the coordinates of the AP element and displays hints such as “you’re getting warmer” or “you’re nowhere near the drop
target” in a text box.
12. Enter JavaScript code or a function name (for example, evaluateAPelementPos()) in the second Call JavaScript box to
execute the code or function when the AP element is dropped. Select Only If Snapped if the JavaScript should be executed
only if the AP element has reached the drop target.
13. Click OK and verify that the default event is correct.
Gathering information about the draggable AP element
When you attach the Drag AP element behavior to an object, Dreamweaver inserts the MM_dragLayer() function into the head section of your
document. (The function retains the old naming convention for AP elements [that is, “Layer”] so that layers created in previous versions of
Dreamweaver will remain editable.) In addition to registering the AP element as draggable, this function defines three properties for each
draggable AP element—MM_LEFTRIGHT, MM_UPDOWN, and MM_SNAPPED—that you can use in your own JavaScript functions to determine
the relative horizontal position of the AP element, the relative vertical position of the AP element, and whether the AP element has reached the
drop target.
Note: The information provided here is intended for experienced JavaScript programmers only.
For example, the following function displays the value of the MM_UPDOWN property (the current vertical position of the AP element) in a form field
called curPosField. (Form fields are useful for displaying continuously updated information because they are dynamic—that is, you can change
their contents after the page has finished loading.)
function getPos(layerId){
var layerRef = document.getElementById(layerId);
var curVertPos = layerRef.MM_UPDOWN;
document.tracking.curPosField.value = curVertPos;
}
Instead of displaying the values of MM_UPDOWN or MM_LEFTRIGHT in a form field, you could use those values in a variety of other ways. For
example, you could write a function that displays a message in the form field depending on how close the value is to the drop zone, or you could
call another function to show or hide an AP element depending on the value.
It is especially useful to read the MM_SNAPPED property when you have several AP elements on the page, all of which must reach their targets
before the visitor can advance to the next page or task. For example, you could write a function to count how many AP elements have an
