How to stop item from going back to original place? - actionscript-3

Question

This is a drag and drop matching game, my question is how do I stop the items from going back to its original place when I matched it wrongly? I want the items to stay. Please explain in details for me, would appreciate it a lot.

You should remove the else conditions from each and every release functions. Update code is given below:
right_mc.visible=false;
wrong_mc.visible=false;
var orig1X:Number=item1_mc.x;
var orig1Y:Number=item1_mc.y;
var orig2X:Number=item2_mc.x;
var orig2Y:Number=item2_mc.y;
var orig3X:Number=item3_mc.x;
var orig3Y:Number=item3_mc.y;
item1_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, dragTheObject);
item1_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, item1Release);
item2_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, dragTheObject);
item2_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, item2Release);
item3_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, dragTheObject);
item3_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, item3Release);
done_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, checkAnswers);
reset_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, reset);
item1_mc.buttonMode=true;
item2_mc.buttonMode=true;
item3_mc.buttonMode=true;
function dragTheObject(event:MouseEvent):void
{
var item:MovieClip=MovieClip(event.target);
item.startDrag();
var topPos:uint=this.numChildren-5;
this.setChildIndex(item, topPos);
}
function item1Release(event:MouseEvent):void
{
var item:MovieClip=MovieClip(event.target);
item.stopDrag();
if (dropZone1_mc.hitTestPoint(item.x,item.y))
{
item.x=dropZone1_mc.x;
item.y=dropZone1_mc.y;
}
}
function item2Release(event:MouseEvent):void
{
var item:MovieClip=MovieClip(event.target);
item.stopDrag();
if (dropZone2_mc.hitTestPoint(item.x,item.y))
{
item.x=dropZone2_mc.x;
item.y=dropZone2_mc.y;
}
}
function item3Release(event:MouseEvent):void
{
var item:MovieClip=MovieClip(event.target);
item.stopDrag();
if (dropZone3_mc.hitTestPoint(item.x,item.y))
{
item.x=dropZone3_mc.x;
item.y=dropZone3_mc.y;
}
}
function checkAnswers(event:MouseEvent):void
{
if (dropZone1_mc.hitTestPoint(item1_mc.x,item1_mc.y) &&
dropZone2_mc.hitTestPoint(item2_mc.x,item2_mc.y) &&
dropZone3_mc.hitTestPoint(item3_mc.x,item3_mc.y))
{
wrong_mc.visible = false;
right_mc.visible = true;
}
else
{
wrong_mc.visible = true;
right_mc.visible = false;
}
}
function reset(event:MouseEvent):void {
item1_mc.x=orig1X;
item1_mc.y=orig1Y;
item2_mc.x=orig2X;
item2_mc.y=orig2Y;
item3_mc.x=orig3X;
item3_mc.y=orig3Y;
right_mc.visible=false;
wrong_mc.visible=false;
}
Please let me know if you face any issue.
