Description
Action; makes the target movie clip draggable while the movie is playing. Only one movie clip can be dragged at a time. Once a startDrag operation is executed, the movie clip remains draggable until explicitly stopped by a stopDrag action, or until a startDrag action for another movie clip is called.

Example
To create a movie clip that users can position in any location, attach the startDrag and stopDrag actions to a button inside the movie clip.

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