help with dragging stuff

So I made a site look like a folder, with paper you drag out for each section.

Basically the whole peice of paper is a movie clip, and when i click on it the
actionscript makes it drag, and when i release it stops the drag.

But when I put a text box with a scroller on it, or anything that is supposed
to be clicked on, it wont work.

I click on the arrow, but it starts dragging the peice of paper, instead of
clicking the arrow.

Create an invisible button. Place it in the clip to be dragged and size
it to the size of the whole clip. Have your drag functions refer to this
button. Place it in a layer below the buttons that you need to have the
user interact with. The invisible button will allow the clip to be
dragged while the buttons on the layers above will still react to the
user.
