Hi,

I’m facing a strange problem, I’m using CS4 and AS3 and I got a text scroller that uses startDrag,  
I wrap all this in a function that handles a sort of 3D roationX with rotation and rotationY,  
why is the startDrag not working when rotationX or Y are used ?  
Is it “normal” ?

Thanks for your tips,
