Hi, guys!  
I’ve been browsing the net all day long, and couldn’t find anything helpful, so I hope you can assist. Here’s the deal.

I got an mc, which I want to be able to drag around. I’ve added this code to it:

on(press){  
startDrag(this);  
}  
on(release){  
stopDrag();  
}

And it works fine. BUT!

I have a button within that clip, that is supposed to activate that mc’s timeline on roll over. (Pressing drags the main MC, rollover activates the button/timeline in it) But it only works when i remove the script for dragging the mc. And i need to be able to drag it, and nest buttons in it, load external swfs in it, etc.  
Basically, the dragging script doesn’t allow buttons to work. I know I could be all wrong with the concept, so you can start from there…
