I’ve made a draggable menu for a flash site ([COLOR=SeaGreen]menu\_mc[/COLOR]), but the buttons don’t work inside the movie clip when I apply startDrag. To remedy the problem, I simply made another movie clip ([COLOR=DarkOrchid]menubuttons[/COLOR]). I now want to more or less attach the two movieclips:

```auto
if (menu_mc.moveTo(x,y)) {
    menubuttons.moveTo(menu_mc.x,menu_mc.y)
};

```

I also tried some pretty iffy statements:

```auto
menubuttons._x = menu_mc._x

```

That last one works initially, but when I move [COLOR=SeaGreen]menu\_mc[/COLOR], [COLOR=DarkOrchid]menubuttons [/COLOR]stays put.
