Right, sorry!

My entire project is too big to upload, so I made a separate one with just the background/sprites for the one level. The kanji pieces glide the way I want them to, and go back after you click and drag them around. Now I just need the right blocks in the right order so that when you click/drag a kanji piece to the right colored box, it stops moving!

I've tried a dozen combos on my own, adding to both "when green flag clicked" and "when sprite is clicked." It's obvious by now I have no idea what I'm doing. Again, any help is appreciated.

Well I figured if I could just get one to go in any box I could apply the code to all the pieces, but here is a picture of what it should look like in the end: http://img51.imageshack.us/i/allboxes.jpg/

(New Scratchers aren't allowed to post pictures, sorry.)

So in the game is it possible to put them in the wrong order and lose?

Well right now it's not possible to put them in any order since they won't stick. ^_^; My idea is that you pick a kanji piece, put it in the box you think is right, and when you un-click it either sticks (which means you got it right) or it goes back to gliding (which means you got it wrong). I was able to make the script for all the "wrong" answers, but I can't figure out out to make the "right" answers.

So for example, the very first kanji piece to the left, I want to be able to drag it to the top aqua box and put it there, whereas if you try and put it in any of the other boxes it won't stick.

AtomicBawm3, I thought about making the game closer to what you're saying, where you put 3 pieces in boxes and on the 4th piece you find out if you did it in the right order, however there are 24 possible combinations and I thought that would be too frustrating.

Actually, there is another way.

Just put if it is not in the correct order, you will lose the game.

After all, there's only 1 correct order.

The code works for the most part, except that the first few times you try and put a piece in a box it won't work! Maybe the 2nd or 3rd try it works just fine, but I can't figure out why it doesn't just work the first time.

You do have to put the pieces directly in the center of the box, but it still takes more than one try even if you place it perfectly. WHYYYYYY!

Did you set the x and y position to have to be one specific coordinate? If so, it's probably just that you're not placing it at the one space it needs to be. Try expanding the allowed positions to a small range.

It didn't work for me.    I tried to make it so that you could put the kanji a little outside the lines and it would still work, but once I put in the code ' if x is less than this but greater than this, and same for y, go to xy position and stop' the pieces stopped sticking in the box entirely.

Make sure that the minumum x value is less than the maximum. (Same with y) also, x has to be greater than the minimum value, not less than. That's a mistake people sometimes make.
