Hi,  
I am trying to drag my dynamic moviclips. But this code does not work properly.  
I have to mosue click the movie clip, and once again use mousepress to drag the movie clip.  
Is there an way o eliminate the two clicks? Thanking you in advance.  
Here is the code.

clickAction = function (\_arg2) {  
//info.\_y += 150;  
trace(“click”+\_arg2); // \_arg2 contains name of dynamic movieclip

\_arg2.onPress = function (){  
trace(“on press”+\_arg2);  
\_arg2.startDrag();  
// further code  
}

\_arg2.onRelease = function (){  
\_arg2.stopDrag();  
// further code  
}  
}

//code for creating dynamic movieclip

for (i=0; i \< xmlnodecount; i++) {

\_root.content\_mc.image\_mc.duplicateMovieClip(“image\_mc”+i, i);

```
_root.content_mc["image_mc" + i]._x = imageWidth * xinc; ;
_root.content_mc["image_mc"+i]._y = yinc;
loadMovie(image*,_root..content_mc["image_mc"+i].holder);

```

}

[AS]

//code for creating dynamic movieclip

for (i=0; i \< xmlnodecount; i++) {

var MC:MovieCLip = \_root.content\_mc.image\_mc.duplicateMovieClip(“imag e\_mc”+i, i);

MC.\_x = imageWidth \* xinc; ;  
MC.\_y = yinc;  
loadMovie(image\*,MC.holder);  
MC.onPress = function (){  
trace(“on press”+\_arg2);  
this.startDrag();  
// further code  
}

MC.onRelease = function (){  
this.stopDrag();  
// further code  
}

}
