i have a SWF file that is loaded into target MC and this target MC has a startDrag function on it, I have the same startDrag function inside the loaded SWF file

my problem is: my startDrag function is not working inside the loaded SWF, I dont think its the path problem as I call my startDrag with (this.startDrag)

Can anyone help on this please?

Thank you
