i added DragAndDrop to the attributes and i started my game as default.
what did i do wrong?

tnx in advance

I'm afraid there is no magic power in naming an attribute "DragAndDrop."

It looks like you've successfully set up your actor to recognize when it's being touched -- great! Now you'll probably want to do something with that information, such as

When self.DragAndDrop = 1,
- constrain self.Position X to mouse.Position X
- constrain self.Position Y to mouse.Position Y

tnx very much for your help, but i think i did what you say (look at the second picture).

What is happening with it? when you click and hold onto the actor, does it just not move around?
Everything looks fine assuming the game.Mouse.Position.X and game.Mouse.Position.Y attributes were grabbed from the expression editor and not just typed in.

Oops, excuse me - I didn't see the second picture.

I just set up a new project with an actor with the same behaviors (as far as I can tell from your pictures), and it works fine. Perhaps there is something else that is interfering?

As a side note, you can achieve the same thing by just doing this:

When actor receives event [touch] is [pressed],
- constrain self.Position X to mouse.Position X
- constrain self.Position Y to mouse.Position Y

thank you very much CodeMonkey!
The mouse positions weren't grabbed from the expression editor...

thank you cobra also!
