i’m sorry if the title is not very clear, but what i’m trying to say is how do i not make startDrag work on every part of my menu.

i am actually coding directly in FlashCS3, but i created a layer called ‘menu’ and i have a movie clip ‘menu\_mc’ which i also attached 8 Button class buttons to. When i applied startDrag to menu\_mc it not only drags the whole menu with the 8 buttons but the individual buttons become draggable too. I do not want that!

i’ve been trying to make a slide show similar to the template provided but it seems to be an older version and it has made my life hell.

should i stick with a compiler and where can i find a extensive reference of all the classes and methods in AS3? The website only has the components documented. Adobe LiveDocs points to old code too.
