Hi all! Im new to actionscript 3 and have been set a task that im trying to figure out, which is probably pretty simple for someone who knows what their doing!

I need to have a flash movie that has 4 coloured circles down one side and allows the user to drag any of the coloured circles anywhere on the stage without moving the original so it needs to be a duplicate. Ive experimented with creating child copies but havent found a way to move the child using the mouse! I dont know if this would be the way to achieve the solution or not!

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Cheers!
