drag movie clip into area to make something happen

[atimakula]

I need to find a way to change the scene or frame on another movie clip, when I move the oscillating movie clip into a square, circle, or past a line. Could someone help me with this? I'll add it to another topic. But I basically want it to change the frame or scene so that I can add buttons to the scene or picture. My main problem is finding out where the this._x, this._y coord on the movie clip is, because I think it's different to the x,y on the properties of the clip. I also need some opinions on whether I should add another clip or use the actually frame of the flash movie, also how I can manipulate this. This will be included in a oscillating movie clip (topic link: http://w3schools.invisionzone.com/index.php?showtopic=13683) that will be the trigger I also don't want the movie clip to swing back into the area and then restart the action. Can I add a timer or frame rate countdown or something?
