Is there any other method of doing what we're trying to achieve?

Yes - there are lots of different approaches, including the one I have already described: add a property to Sprites and use this to record if a Sprite has been placed and check against it to ensure boxClick only gets increased once.

As I suggested before - there's no point to keep on asking the same question just because you can't implement the solutions that have been offered.

Okay, I'm trying your tactic of adding a property to the sprite class. please tell me if the logic is correct.

Code:

  for(int i =0; i< boxes.length; i++)
	    {
		  //method for locking image in place
		    if(m_bDragged && x> boxes[i].x && x< (boxes[i].x+boxes[i].w-22) &&y <(boxes[i].y+boxes[i].h-20) && y >boxes[i].y) 
		    {
                          
			  m_bDragged = false;    
			  if((!m_bDragged) &&(i == boxID))
                           {
                             
			     IncreaseBoxClick(i);
                             println(i);
			    
			}
		   }
	    } 
             
    }
    
         
        int IncreaseBoxClick(int j)
       {
                   
            boxClick=j;
            //println(j);
            if(boxClick==(boxes.length-1))
            {
              bShowCorrect=true;
            }    
         return boxClick;   
       }


At the moment it only returns 'correct' if the last image is stored correctly. For example image 7 is stored in box 7, return correct.

Shocked
You clearly haven't understood much about Classes and where Class properties/variables should be declared.  Read this; it may help a little.  The property variable should be at the 'root' of your class and should preferably be a boolean, called something like 'isPlaced'.  When the Sprite is placed on a box you set the variable to 'true'.  You then only add to boxClick when the variable is false.

I don't hold out much hope of you being able to implement this; not least as I've made this exact same suggestion a couple of times already...  If you just want this thing built then I'd suggest you either ask someone very nicely, or stump up some cash...  If you're trying to learn then start by getting a good grasp of the basics.
