Multiple drand and drop

The drag and drop is a neat behaviour, I love how easy it is to use.

I am trying to make a map editor, and right now I need to find out how I can drag and drop multiple sprites.

The obvious was for me to add drag and drop to the sprite and backgrounds I wanted to move, but the only sprites effected are the ones directly under the mouse.

I have all the objects with a "Selected off =0, or 1 for on", I want to move only the ones with selected = 1.

Is there some way to tell all the selected sprites to track the mouses X and track the mouses Y movements?

Thanks in advanced. <img src="smileys/smiley1.gif" border="0" align="middle" />

Thats how I do it. drag and drop wasn't really doing it for me. if you spawned an item after a click you had to re-click to drag, this way grabs it and holds it until you let go

.

I would do it along these lines i think:

on left click on sprite :

    if selected

        Sprite selected = False

    else

        Sprite selected = True

        Sprite xOffset = self.X - Mouse.X

        Sprite yOffset = self.Y - Mouse.Y

When dragging:

for each sprite

    if selected :

        set X to Mouse.X+self.xOffset

        set Y to Mouse.Y+self.yOffset

Or you could pin the selected sprites to the one you're dragging: dragDropMultiple.capx
