Well, I’ve applied this piece of as1 to a mc of mine. But this is not working at all…  
If I change \_parent to \_root, everything works just fine but this .swf-file is loaded externally so I have to change all the \_root’s to \_parent’s.  
And that’s not working.

```auto
_parent.webdesigns01.onPress = function() {
	var marginX = this._xmouse;
	var marginY = this._ymouse;
	this.onEnterFrame = function() {
		this._x = _parent._xmouse-marginX;
		this._y = _parent._ymouse-marginY;
	};
};
_parent.webdesigns01.onRelease = function() {
	delete this.onEnterFrame;
};

```

Anyone an idea.
