function and var problem!

[wickedboy]

I used a function as below but only one of either clipboard or getVariable work at a time...
Application.dragdrop.enable = true;
Application.dragdrop.onDragGetData = function ()
{
return Application.clipboard.paste();
}
{
return FlashPlayer.getVariable("_root.currentSentence");
}
So instead I have been suggested to use the variable below, but I'm not 100% sure how to use it...I would be most gratful if someone could explain how I could use it?

var something = Application.clipboard.paste();
trace(something);
return FlashPlayer.getVariable("_root.currentSentence");
Or is it possible to use both somehow?

what are you writtin here? is this suppose to be an if statement or are they both suppose to perform their duties at the same time?
Application.dragdrop.onDragGetData = function (){
return Application.clipboard.paste();
}
{
return FlashPlayer.getVariable("_root.currentSentence");
}

at the same time (or at least whenever they are called...) now, only one will work...

How do you need to use the values? What are you trying to accomplish here?

Hi again!

One uses the clipboard and the other the registry - both uses a drag function.

1. To type in text that users can drag into their docs (getVar - registry)
2. Users drag symbols into theior docs using btns (clipboard)

And this is a Flash file? Is this a standalone projector?
