So I’m new to programming AS 3 and Im trying to create just a simple puzzle game for learning. I am trying to make it so when someone selects a puzzle piece, it becomes selected with a box around it that is dynamically created depending on clip size.  
I tried adding the clip that was created to be a child of the movie clip that is selected, when I went to drag it though it selected the shadow box instead.  
Does anyone have a tutorial on how to do this?  
Or could explain why how to get it working?
