I want to duplicate a movie clip and then drag that movie clip.  
But when I release, it isn’t stopping the drag. What gives?

on (press) {\_root.green.duplicateMovieClip(“eshow”,2)  
startDrag("\_root.eshow");  
\_root.eshow.\_alpha =22  
}  
on (release) {  
\_root.eshow.stopDrag()

if (\_root.green.\_droptarget == “/computer”) {  
\_root.computer.gotoandStop(“green”);  
}  
}
