Hi!,

I am Using Drag Movie at Level 0 in a movie navigation.

Now when I click navigation to load another movie at level 1 the navigation-drag (of level-0) works fine

But

When I introduce another Drag at level-1 movie it works fine(in level-1) BUT now the navigation-drag(in level-0) in the movie gets weired. Stop Drag() also does not help & the Bottom movies has to be reloaded to remove the problem

I guess the problem is that while i drag movie at level-1 it disturbes mouse co-ord or somthing. Can some one help me to put this two drag safely!!

are you loading a movie within a movie,or is all your loading happening on the main timeline?

I can drag multiple objects on multiple levels inside the timeline…

hmmm… let me know.

The startDrag method doesn’t work when there’s more than 1 object to drag. What I’d advise you to do is to create your own drag function:

```auto
movieclip.prototype.myDrag = function () {
    this._x = _xmouse;
    this._x = _ymouse;
}

// Then call it like this on a button
// (if you're working with Flash 5):
on (press) {
   _root.myClip.myDrag ();
}

```

There shouldn’t be any levels problems either. Good luck.
