[RESOLVED] AS3 rookie drag Question

[Frank Mango]

I have a number of Sprites on stage . These Sprites have text fields added to them ie Sprite.addChild(textField)
I would like to have these Sprites along with their text fields dragable.
The problem I am having is I am only able to grasp onto the portion of the Sprite that is not beneath the Text Field.
How do I manage to make the entire Sprite dragable

Thanks Mango

Try setting the "mouseChildren" property on the sprite to "false." That will ignore any child elements in the sprite and detect a mouse event on the object as a whole.

Thank you Genesis F5
