i have a horizontal panel of thumbnails (the panel created as a movieclip). each thumb is a movieclip and when you click on any one of them you navigate to a specific swf. the problem is now i want to be able to drag the panel left and right. when i add the code to do this, you are no longer able to click on any of the thumbs. any ideas as to why? here's the code for the dragging:

looptiles_mc.onRelease = looptiles_mc.onReleaseOutside = function(){
this.stopDrag()
}

looptiles_mc.onPress = panelOver;
function panelOver() {
this.onEnterFrame = scrollPanel;
delete this.onPress;
}

function scrollPanel() {
startDrag(this, false, -1812, this._y, 0, this._y);
this.onPress = panelOver;
delete this.onEnterFrame;
}

should there be something added to allow entering the movieclip and be able to click on each thumbnail?

thanks in advance for your help!
