Simple movieClip drag?

This is a simple script loading a swf to the stage, but I am having trouble getting the movieClip to drag. It’s probably something simple, but I can’t see it. Can someone point me in the right direction?


test_btn.onRelease = function() {
 piece = "bed";
 createEmptyMovieClip("item_mc", this.getNextHighestDepth());
 item_mc.createEmptyMovieClip("container_mc", 0);
 item_mc.container_mc.loadMovie("decals/"+piece+".swf");
 item_mc.container_mc._x = 200;
 item_mc.container_mc._y = 100;
};
item_mc.onPress = function() {
 this.startDrag();
 trace("test");
};
//
item_mc.onRelease = function() {
 stopDrag();
};
