Incorrect reference type

programming flash
1

For the following class snippet:


private var ali:Loader;
 
public function MyClass():void {
   ali = new Loader();
   addChild(ali);
   ali.load(new URLRequest("images/ali.swf"));
 
...
   ali.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, moveAli);
}
 
private function moveAli() {
   ali.startDrag();
}

I get the error “1061: Call to a possibly undefined method startDrag through a reference with static type flash.display:Loader.”

I get that I can’t drag a Loader object. But I need to be able to. What’s the solution here?

Thanks!
