I have the following code:

a\_panel.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE\_DOWN, function():void{a\_panel.startDrag(true);  
a\_panel.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE\_UP, function():void{a\_panel.stopDrag();})});

When I drag, the mouse cursor immediately snaps to the upper left corner and it always drags by the upper left corner. How do i get rid of this movement altogether and just have the object be dragged by where the mouse cursor initially was?
