Droptargets: what am I doing wrong?

[DigiScript]

Ok, I am new to ActionScripting so this is probably something stupid I am doing wrong. I did the Drag n Drop tutorial, but when I add the _droptarget command, the StopDrag stops working. The startDrag and stopDrag work fine by themselves, but as soon as I add a _droptarget, the object I am dragging sticks to the mouse until you click again, instead of stopDragging on release as specified.
Any help?

on (press) {
startDrag (this, true);
}
on (release) {
stopDrag ();
if (this._droptarget == "/target") {
_root.target.gotoAndPlay(2);
}
}

Thanks in Advance

There's nothing wrong with that code (that I can see). Assuming your target clip is called "target" (instance name), and it lives on the main stage, it should work fine....

The drop action works if I can get the thing off my mouse, but it still sticks, requiring an extra click (or 2 or 3) to get the MC to quit dragging.... could it be a bug?

[Jesse]

It's not likely to be an error in your code but I got my example working fine so it aint a bug either. Does you button have any other On events on it? That could be confusing things...

If you drag outside the movie area this can often happen. Do you have constraints on the drag action?
