please help. I’m trying to make a draggable menu in a jukebox. I did it the same as in the draggable menu tut. the difference is, that the whole menu is inside of a clip with masking and such. the problem is I don’t get any errors when I test it but the dragger clip just disappears when I click it. anyone encountered this before?

</div>

on the dragger you have this code::

onClipEvent (load) {  
yold = \_y ;  
}  
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {  
if (dragging) {  
\_y = \_root.\_ymouse ;  
dydrag = \_y + yold ;  
yold = \_y;  
\_root.sounds.screen.soundlinks.\_y += 3\*dydrag ;  
}  
}

just change the \_y = \_root.\_ymouse to \_y = \_parent.\_ymouse

that will fix it. What happened was that it was not disappearing, it was moving down off of the screen because when you called for \_root.\_ymouse, its y value was off the screen for the root of that MC, however, for the parent of the MC it works perfectly fine.

If you have anymore questions e-mail or post. Very nice looking site. I wish I had the capabilities and the imagination to make up a site like that. Very professional looking. Very clean. Nice Job. Let me know when it is finished.
