I just started to learn AS3, and I’m trying to do some simple function such as the drag and drop, below is my code:

* * *

box\_mc.addEventListener (MouseEvent.MOUSE\_DOWN, drag);  
box\_mc.addEventListener (MouseEvent.MOUSE\_UP, drop);

function drag (e:MouseEvent):void;  
{  
box\_mc.startDrag();  
}

function drop (e:MouseEvent):void;  
{  
box\_mc.stopDrag();  
}

* * *

i created a box on the stage and convert it to movie clip already, but my code simply just doesn’t work, can anyone tell me why?

and here’s the error message: 1126: Function does not have a body.

and here’s the 2 source : function drag (e:MouseEvent):void;  
function drop (e:MouseEvent):void;

can anyone tell me what is the problem here? and why?
