Working with the Drag and Drop interaction

In this section, you will explore some of the amazing possibilities offered by the Drag and Drop interaction. The Drag and Drop interaction requires at least two objects. One serves as the Drag Source and the second one as the Drop Target.

• The Drag Source is the object that the user has to drag

• The Drop Target is the object onto which a Drag Source can be dropped

It does not matter what those objects are. In this example, you will use images as both the Drag Source and the Drop Target, but you could also use Text Captions, Highlight Boxes, Smart Shapes, and so on.

Of course, to make things more interesting, a single slide can contain multiple Drag Sources as well as multiple Drop Targets. Thanks to this capability, you will be able to quickly and easily create complex and fun interactions. Best of all, the Drag and Drop interaction is supported in both Flash and HTML5.
