Subject: Re: FLASH: sprite (mc) following mouse

Hi Dorian. Sorry, I should have included more info. I'm using Flash 4 and
have the mc draggable and constrained along a rectangle . Works fine when
the pointer is within the movie. But on the quick tests I've done, the clip
being dragged is only draggable when the pointer is within the flash movie
area of the browser window.

Best.
