If I understand your request, this is one way you could do the above. Make 3 small graphics named box 1, box 2 and box 3 within the region you define. Then place the following script in your oval: on mouseDown set the uAllowMove of me to true end mouseDown on mouseMove x,y if not the uAllowMove of me then exit mouseMove set the loc of me to (max(81,min(557,x))),(max(167,min(287,y))) end mouseMove on mouseUp set the uAllowMove of me to empty put "box1,box2,box3" into bList repeat for each item B in bList if within(me,loc of grc B) then put "You found box" && B exit repeat else put empty end repeat end mouseUp on mouseRelease mouseUp end mouseRelease ----- This should display the name (in the message box) of any box graphic that falls within the oval when the mouse is released. BTW, did you look at the drag example I posted a few days ago? http://www.tactilemedia.com/download/drag_sample.mc You might find this useful.
