dragging a movie loaded with loadMovie

[Bob_Hopeless]

Hi
I've got a button in my main timeline that loads a movie over the main one like a pop-up in html. What i'd like to do is to make it draggable, but i don't know how - or where i have to put the code (in the loaded movie or in the main movie but referring to the loaded movie) ...
Could you help ?
thank you :-))

Does the movie load into a level or a movie clip?

If you use a movie clip to hold the loaded move probably the easiest thing to do is something like this (in the movie that does the loading),

code:

---

// define press and release event handlers for the movie clip myClip, which will contain the loaded movie

myClip.onPress = function() {

    this.startDrag(true);

};

myClip.onRelease = function() {

    this.stopDrag();

};

myClip.createEmptyMovieClip("holder", 1); // create an empty clip inside myClip to load the movie into (loading directly into myClip would delete the event handlers)

myClip.holder.loadMovie("filename.swf"); // load the movie

---

if you load into a level, maybe you could use similar code on the main timeline (of the movie that gets loaded) like this,

code:

---

_root.onMouseDown = function() {

	_root.startDrag(true); // drag the main timeline of the movie

};

_root.onMouseUp = function() {

	_root.stopDrag();

};

I'm using levels so i'll go for the second option.
thank you very much
