Hi,

I am facing a weird problem. I am not sure if it should go to flash ide or as3 so posting here at the moment. I will try to explain it.

I have a movie clip named:\*\* F1\*\*  
Inside **F1** there are multiple movieclips(e.g. **face\_mc, lefteye\_mc, righteye\_mc, beard\_mc, eyebrows, hair\_mc** etc etc).

Now when I run the swf, the drag works fine when the mouse is on the face but if the mouse is on the eye/beard/mouth it only starts dragging that specific part only.

For example, if the mouse is on the left eye and i start to drag only the left eye drags under the mouse.

Inside **F1** :  
I tried grouping it but it didnt helped.  
I also tried modify\>combine objects\>union…it removes everything but the face.

I tried to search for it on the internet but couldnt find any help. So I thought to get help from the guru’s on kirupa. I tried to explain to the best of my knowledge let me know if anything else is needed. Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks

Regards,
