I want to make a draggable movie clip with an input text box in it. It's going to be a "Make your own comic" game, where you can type in the speach bubbles what you want the characters to say. I can't seem to get it to work right, help?!

Lol, Prophet is right more information would be helpful... with that said, here's my crappy (and I do mean crappy) example:

I threw this together in about 30 seconds and I think it shows :P
The only thing that I was trying to get you to see is the startDrag and stopDrag actions...

Another alternative . . .

Check out this tutorial on kirupa:

And just put an input text box inside the movie clip.

Yeah, I should have described it better, or put up a .fla. Either way, Thanks Wizard, you solved my problems!
