Dragging Mask Layers

Is it just me, or can you not drag movie clips that act as mask layers??

I set up a movie where there where two squares with text on. On square one, it had a yellow background with blue text. On square two, it had a blue background with yellow text.
The way I set it all up was to have four layers:

Top layer was a button which covered everything else and was alpha'd out.
Second layer was a movieclip called 'drag' and the layer was a mask.
Third layer was square 1 and was masked.
Fourth layer was square two and was a normal layer.

Action on the button was set to:

on (release) {
startDrag ("drag", true);
}


When I preview the movie, nothing happens. When I convert one of the squares to a movie clip and change the button to drag that, it works.

Am I doing something wrong?
