Masking Dragable 1

[TheSponge]

Hello, Im very new to Flash so please bear with me.

I have just started experimenting with masks, I tried to make the circle graphic on the masked layer dragable, but when I test the movie, the mouse appears to the above left of the centre of the graphic?? the graphic moves, but I want it to be centered...I clicked snap to center, but that didnt work, I also aligned everything center to the stage?

Thanks

I also noticed, that in a fla I downloaded, the target on the startdrag could be found with a name, Mine doesnt have a name? should it? it just says this!!!

Please Help

"this" refers to the object the AS is on.
