Draggable movieclip

Hi...

im trying to use this code..

window1.dragBar.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_ DOWN, DragWindow1);

function DragWindow1 (event:MouseEvent):void {
window1.startDrag(false, boundsRect);

}

window1.dragBar.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_ UP, DropWindow1);
window1.dragBar.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_ OUT, DropWindow1);

function DropWindow1 (event:MouseEvent):void {
window1.stopDrag();
}

I have a movie clip called window1 and inside another movie clip called dragBar... Supposedly when the user clicks and drags the dragbar the whole movie clip follows... it doesnt work

ANy idea?>

Are you getting any error messages, and if so, what?

Can you tell if DragWindow1 is getting called? Put in a trace to verify.

What is boundsRect?

Hi...thanks for your answer

i am attaching the file so that you can see...

That code is modified so the boundsRect was a mistake... originally it had boundaries on x and y...

Here is the code .... i dont seem to get any errors from flash

window1.dragBar.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_ DOWN, DragWindow1);

function DragWindow1 (event:MouseEvent):void {
window1.startDrag;

}

window1.dragBar.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_ UP, DropWindow1);
window1.dragBar.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_ OUT, DropWindow1);




function DropWindow1 (event:MouseEvent):void {
window1.stopDrag();
}

Can't open flas, so I don't know if that is your actual verbatim code. If it is, the problem is that you need to call the startDrag method, not just refer to it.

function DragWindow1 (event:MouseEvent):void {
  window1.startDrag();
}

window1.startDrag; is a statement that evaluates to a Function. And then does absolutely nothing with it. You need to actually call the function.
