Ubik - you got an interesting one here!

Like you say - works offline, but I see that your online version holds the caption elsewhere and not on the flag rollover.

Will have a look and see if I can help…

I think it has to do with the home.swf you load. You have a scrollbar there with a drag function I suppose and by default Flash can only drag one object at a time (for multiple draggable objects check senoculars prototype at [http://proto.layer51.com/d.aspx?f=845](http://proto.layer51.com/d.aspx?f=845)…)

I think this will work: remove the startDrag in the caption layer and change the code on the caption like this

```auto
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
	_x = _root._xmouse;
	_y = _root._ymouse;
	if (_parent.x == 1) {
		this._alpha = 100;
	} else {
		this._alpha = 0;
	}
}

```

Hope that helps;)
