I recommend using getNextHighestDepth() . 2) While only 1 clip can be dragged at a time with startDrag() method, you can simulate dragging by just moving clips by onMouseMove event. If you have a lot of them, you'd better use a function with their parent clip moving children in a loop. -- Best regards, GregoryN ================================ http://GOusable.com Flash components development.
