Hi, I have a swf. called “menu” that load a external .swf “sitios” with the conteiner method, and that movie have a drag button inside a movie clip called “sitiosmov” it works well draging that movie clip, but when “menu” loads “sitios” the drag button doesnt work, I check the route but I cant find the problem this is the code:

on (press) {  
startDrag("/sitiosmov");  
setProperty("/sitiosmov", \_alpha, 30);  
}  
on (release) {  
stopDrag();  
setProperty("/sitiosmov", \_alpha, 100);  
}

thanks
