I would removeChild from parent (column), add to stage (so its on top and you can drag it over your columns). And on release, determine over which column your mouse is, then simply addChild to that column (remove from stage first).
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
