moving and grooving

Can somebody please post a script which has...

buttons that move a picture or icon around the screen
when the icon or picture touches something a MsgBox appears

please? no? go on? cheers ;)

This will give you something to play with. This code is very basic and could be coded more efficiently, but will demonstrate simple movement.

Size a form at 7995 width x 7680 height
Place a small image 480 x 480 and set TOP to 5640
and LEFT to 480.
Add commmand button and use the following code for it

(This is a continuous loop by using the label continue:)


code...

continue:

'move bottom left to bottom right
Do
img1.Left = img1.Left + 2 '2 sets the speed
DoEvents
Loop Until img1.Left = 7200

'This should give you some ideas
If img1.Left = 7200 Then
MsgBox "Ouch", , "Title"
End If

'move bottom right to top right
Do
img1.Top = img1.Top - 2
DoEvents
Loop Until img1.Top = 360

'move top right to top left
Do
img1.Left = img1.Left - 2
DoEvents
Loop Until img1.Left = 120

'move top left to bottom left
Do
img1.Top = img1.Top + 2
DoEvents
Loop Until img1.Top = 5640

'move bottom left to top right
Do
img1.Move img1.Left + 2, img1.Top - 2
DoEvents
Loop Until img1.Top = 360: 'shp1.Left

'move top right to centre
Do
img1.Move img1.Left - 2, img1.Top + 2
DoEvents
Loop Until img1.Left = 2200

'move centre to right
Do
img1.Left = img1.Left + 2
DoEvents
Loop Until img1.Left = 5200 '**

'move right to top
Do
img1.Top = img1.Top - 2
DoEvents
Loop Until img1.Top = 360

'move top to left
Do
img1.Left = img1.Left - 2
DoEvents
Loop Until img1.Left = 120

'move top left to bottom left
Do
img1.Top = img1.Top + 2
DoEvents
Loop Until img1.Top = 5640

'go through the loops again when the image
'has reached the start position
If img1.Left = 120 Then GoTo continue

Experiment and above all have FUN

cheers graham! that was quite a help..

is there any way i can make the image move manually? so like when you press left the image moves left one?
