Mouse drag/multi parent

At one point in my movie, a pig from the pig pen and
drops it in the barn.

all the pigs are dynamicaly created with attachmovieclip

when the user drags it to the barn it needs to become of child of the barn MClip for reasons i don’t want to bore you with

so what I did was have it so, the Pig on(Press) attaches the same Pig MClip from the library to the barn, and then removes the orgininal Pig which was attached to the Pen.

This is working well and is seemless to user EXCEPT

in order to release the pig I need to click the mouse twice in order for the on(release) to work.

I’m trying to get rid of the need to do this “double click”

seems the new clip doesn’t know or is not in a state of being pressed when it is created within a Pressed state.

any ideas?

Thanks

Can you show us the AS you are using?
