why does this drag the layer below it too?

using:

on (press) {  
\_root.startDrag(“movie”);  
}  
on (release) {  
\_root.stopDrag();  
}

make sure the instance name is correct…

anyway, why don’t you just use

```auto
on (press) {
	this.startDrag();
}
on (release) {
	this.stopDrag();
}

```

? =)
