Was doing a little web surfing trying to get a better understanding of binary parsing between flash and PHP and found these interesting mouse event called startDrag and stopDrag. I have done my own little drag functions before where you change the object’s – or in this case, the movie clips – x and or y-axis position on screen while some sort of event is occurring. This though just simplifies things and gets me thinking about possible uses for this.

Click down with the left mouse button on the little ball and drag it around the screen. Releasing the mouse left click button will let go of the ball.
