Hi there,

i want to use the simple startDrag-function to drag a movieclip. when the option to lock the movieclip is set to false, there’s no problem but when i set this option to true, so the movieclip should follow the mouse locked to the center, my movieclip just disappears…

i used this code:

onClipEvent (mouseDown) {  
startDrag("", false); //true doesn’t work…  
}  
onClipEvent (mouseUp) {  
stopDrag();  
}

it would be nice if someone could help me out with this tiny problem!!!

thx
