flash actionscript: Hi.

I have 6 pieces which can be dragged anywhere on the screen. I have used
startDrag and stopDrag, but stop drag wont 'drop' the piece when the mouse
button is released and it follows the mouse cursor around until you click on a
new piece.

This is what I am using:

on(press) {
startDrag(this,true);
}
on(release) {
stopDrag();
}

Any suggestions?

buttonInstancename.onPress = function() {
startDrag(this,true);
};
buttonInstancename.onRelease = function() {
stopDrag();
};

John

if you don't need to lock to anchor, this will work:

on(press) {
startDrag(this);
}
on(release){
stopDrag();
}
