In a new layer in the drag MC (above the drag button) put a blank

keyframe and a Stop action. Place the splat or splat animation in the

frame or frames following it.

Make the drag MC Invisible and use a Play Action from the Button

Instance properties for On(Press).

A little bit of Trig and geometry would make this fairly easy.

We will be getting into this shortly, it is not very difficult.

The flying arrows in the preloader were all moved in start lines with x

and y proprties and a couple of simple Trig formulas (using the Trig

Plug and Play).

No tweening was used in animating those arrows.
