How do I keep the buttons of a draggable movie clip ( say, a stereo control) dominant after I input the startdrag coding? it seems that buttons in a mc are overridden by this; I have two fistfuls of hair and no answers!

Well it is because you are making your mc a button as well. This overlaps your other buttons since your buttons are inside the mc.
You should create a drag button inside your MC and use that to drag the mc it is in.
Something like…
```php
on (press) {
_parent.startDrag();
}
on (release) {
stopDrag();
}
```

■■■■ guy you are one quick motha… I just figured it out and decided to cancel my post and here you already answered it. You’re right, I figured that all I needed to do was create a title bar or something to drag it by a la windows. Thanks for your quick attention!
