    Note: There is no limit to how many movable buttons can be associated with a particular destination button, nor how many destination buttons can be defined for a particular movable button. The only limitation is that you can’t make a destination button movable, or vice versa.
Movable and Destination Button Properties
  • For a Movable button, a new Movable Button Properties item will appear in that button’s right click menu. A similar Destination Button Properties menu item will appear for Destination buttons.
  • After selecting this item, you’ll see a window that allows you to change the properties of the movable or destination button.
  • The Snap Back:Snap this movable button back to the last position when dropped on an invalid destination option allows you to specify that a movable button will bounce back to its last position when it is dropped on an invalid destination.
  • The Move Clones: Instead of moving the movable button itself, create anew “cloned” copy whenever this button is grabbed option allows you to specify that every time a movable button is dropped on a destination button, a clone copy of that button is actually being used. This allows you to drag a movable button (cloned) multiple times in a given activity.

  • The Center Movables: Force movable buttons to appear in the exact center of the destination button option allows you to specify that the movable button will be automatically centered on the destination button.
