Okey so I click on my little button in my movie and write in the following code

[AS]on(press) {  
this.startDrag(false);  
}  
on(release) {  
stopDrag();  
}[/AS]

It looks ok to me, but when i preview it, instead of draggin’ the button it drags the whole movie??? =S

anyone know wht the prob is?

Because you cannot drag a button, only movie clips.  
To solve that, create a button inside a movie clip and paste the actions on the button:[AS]on(press) {  
startDrag(this,false);  
}  
on(release) {  
stopDrag();  
}[/AS]
