Hi I have a main swf with a button that loads another swf in a movie clip, and I want to know how I can make a button that lets you drag the importated swf file in that movie clip.

here is the code for the button

on (release) {  
loadMovie(“Untitled-1.swf”, “\_root.testing”);  
}

Set the drag method to the movieclip where you have loaded the movie into.  
ie:

```auto
_root.testing.startDrag(true);

```
