Ok, so I know there’s tons of threads for this allready, but I guess I just don’t understand them…And I see this as a fairly simple problem. I have a drawing board created and a comic speech bubble clip created. The clip is draggable and text can be inputted into it. The problem is that I don’t want to draw on the board when I drag the balloon. See the fla attatched!

got it working.

before

```auto

on (press, release, dragOver, dragOut) {
	_root.x += 1;
	_root.red.swapDepths(_root.x);
}
on (press) {
	startDrag("");

}
on (release) {
	stopDrag();
	this.onMouseMove = null;
}

```

after:

```auto

on (press, release, dragOver, dragOut) {
	_root.x += 1;
	_root.red.swapDepths(_root.x);
}
on (press) {
	startDrag("");
**	_root.onMouseMove = null;**
}
on (release) {
	stopDrag();
	this.onMouseMove = null;
}

```

i added the mouseMove= null on press so that nothing happens when that is being dragged.

fair enough?
