Hold down mouse button to enable drag&drop

I'd like to know if there is any way of enabling drag&drop of an object (i.e. a sprite) only after holding down a mouse button for a certain amount of time.

What I want to accomplish is:

1) Enable the sprite's drag&drop behavior after holding down left button for 2 seconds.

2) Move the sprite and drop it at the desired position.

3) When dropped, disable drag&drop (this is easy)

Thanks!

Here's one way to do it:

DragDelay.capx (r101)

You could probably use the Drag&Drop behaviour if you want, but I prefer just using events. Hope it helps!

Thank you Nimtrix, that was helpful. I was trying something different, though. I'd like to enable the drag&drop behavior when the "clicking timer" finishes, but not having to click again to start dragging the object.

Your solution works without using drag&drop, but if you move the mouse too quickly it grabs a different Sprite... any ideas?

Hi, I'm also looking for the same solution but can't accomplish without a second click which is not what I want. Did you manage to solve this?
