Hi,  
I have a MC which I use this code to drag it:  
[AS]  
on (press) {  
startDrag(this);  
}  
on (release) {  
stopDrag();  
}  
[/AS]  
This MC contains some buttons but these don’t work. When I remove the code above, the buttons work. Is there any smarter way to get my MC mouse drag effect with those buttons inside?  
thanks 🙂
