I can DRAG, but it wont DROP

[arunarun]

Hello Friends,
Please help! i have written this AS3 code, and i am able to click and drag my movie clips, but then i can't drop them. they stay stuck to my cursor. Can you help??? It is a Mr. Potato Head drag and drop game/activity. If the code looks correct, what else could I have done to make this not work correctly? Could it have to do with some movie clip setting or something?? Please help! See code below:

hat.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, dropIt);

function pickUp(event:MouseEvent):void {
event.target.startDrag(true);

}

event.target.stopDrag();
}

hi, please use

instead of

event.target.startDrag(true);

Just

event.target.startDrag();

see the diference in the docs: http://goo.gl/xi9ap
