Yes, just make the image. Turn it into a movieclip. Give it the instance **custom**. And insert these actions to the frame:

```auto
startDrag("custom", true);
Mouse.hide();

```

oh yeah, it was in a empty movie clip off the stage.

btw, if you are ever looking for actionscript in a movie you can just go to window-\>movie explorer and you can see all the movie clips and frames that have any action script on them.
