Dropped Object Removed Trigger

image\Trigger_Dropped_Object_Removed.jpg

The Dropped Object Removed trigger allows you to trigger an action when a drag object is moved out of the drop zone. You can use this trigger to start a sequence of actions when an object is moved out of a drop zone, for instance, if the user dropped the wrong object into the drop zone a point may be deducted from their total score, a point could be awarded if the user realises their mistake and removes the object from the drop zone.

Note:
This option will only be triggered when a dropped object is moved out of a drop zone. Furthermore, this option will only be triggered if the Objects can be dragged off once dropped checkbox has been ticked in the drop zone object’s Drag and Drop tab in the Properties dialog.

Setting up the Dropped Object Removed trigger:

  1. Add the Dropped Object Removed trigger to your Actions Organiser, as described in Creating and Editing Actions. The Dropped Object Removed tab will automatically appear when you add the trigger.

  2. Use the All draggable objects option when any drag object on the page will start this trigger.

  3. Use the These objects only option when you want to specify the drag objects that will start this trigger. This will activate the Object list below this option.

Note:
Only the objects you specify will start this trigger. Any other object dragged off this object will be ignored.

  1. Click on checkbox beside the name of the objects in the Object List that you want to start this trigger.

Note:
The list of objects may be indented – see Indented Objects in an Object List for more information.

  1. Click on the Apply button to save your changes.

  2. Click on the Actions tab in the Actions dialog to select an action or actions to add to the trigger.

  3. Go to Choosing an Action to list all of the actions you can add to your trigger.
