I know these cards can be annoying but the concept looks interesting.

Can this be done in XWD6 ?

Hi Dr. Who.

Sure it can. Just download the tweek set here

One of the tweeks is called dragging popups. Follow the directions in the included manual and away you go.

I had never used this before myself but it was quite easy when I tried it out. Here is my example.

Hi bcire68, Thank you I'll give it a try.

Oops it does work,its me still playing with xwd6 when I should be tucked up.(or locked up)

Not meaning to be picky but its still not quite what was on that website!! Humm? Eh? Well??

AH HA !! I sussed it. Make the original pictures invisable.

Sorry,excuse me please go back to what you were doing.

By express delivery from the Ukraine comes a special edition 'draggie'

John provided the building blocks, I just went with it and prettied it up some.

Note too that I have used the "NoPageClipping" special name

This special name disables page clipping rectangle (equivalent of the "Disable Page Clipping" tweak in WD5 tweakset): "NoPageClipping". Applied to any object on the page disables clipping for this page only.

Download the file - preview and play.
Then study the Page & Layer Gallery.

That is pretty cool Steve. It only works when I click on the Eyes of the smiley for some reason. From what I can tell, it looks like you intended it to work by clicking and dragging anywhere on the smiley. Or am I wrong?

Anywhere on the smiley Eric.
Works here in Chrome/FF/Opera/Safari and that other one

Must be another charming feature involving 'that other one' v6. I can't wait until I get upgraded from Win2000 to Vista next week here at work. Then I can finally get a grown up version of IE and other browsers. I tend to use FF but when I preview in XWD6, it still uses IE.

Thanks Steve.
