I’ve used the Kirupa Drag/Drop tutorial, found [here](http://www.kirupa.com/developer/actionscript/dragdrop.htm).

When I publish a .swf that utilizes the AS used in the above tutorial for Flash Player 8, it does not work. However, when I publish it for Flash player 5, it works perfectly.

Is there a particular reason for this? How could I have similar drag/drop functionality for a Flash 8 player?

Thanks in advance.
