DRAG and DROP movieclips!

programming flash

Can someone please help me! I have a mc inside an mc that has code attached to drag the outer mc… here is a diagram:
mc COOL STUFF
|–mc RED TAB (code is attached to this to drag the COOL STUFF mc)

I can’t get the drag and drop code to work! I am referencing a mc that is higher in the heirarchy, is there a problem with this?

Here is the code attached to mc RED TAB:


on(press) {
	trace("hit");
	startDrag("_root.mcExtra");
	_root.zIndex++;
	_root.mcExtra.swapDepths(_root.zIndex);
}
on(release){
	stopDrag();
}
