createEmptyMovieClip (Button/MC)

programming flash
1

Hello,

This might end up being confusing, but I hope someone can let me know if its possible and if so how to implement it.

  1. I’m creating an editor.
  2. I’m using SWFTOOLS to convert some transparent gifs into swf movie clips.
  3. I need to create an EmptyMovieClip which will act like a button but load my transparent gif swf movie clip as well.

The reason I want to be able to do this is to be able to drag the movie clip around with my mouse, which from what I understand can’t be done unless the movie clip is a button.

Any help would be greatly apprciated, thanks!
