hello all…

ive been away from flash for too long…

anyway, im having a bit of trouble with the startDrag stuff. i would like to have a srcolling text field or buttons inside a dragable object. However, the AS seems to make the entire object a button and the objects inside cant be used. the dragging does work though.

ive got it set up like this

parent mc “top” in a layer in scene one.  
inside top is mc “button” with instance name “boxButton”  
on “button” ive got the AS to enable dragging, set the constraints, and a function for when its in a certain area.  
inside “button” are the txtfields, buttons, etc.

any help is appreciated
