The following code will let any movieclip drag ONE other clip. To drag two clips at the same time just use 2 different controlling clips as shown.

MovieClip.prototype.dragIt = function(clipToDrag){
    this.onMouseMove = function(){
        var p = {x:_root._xmouse, y:_root._ymouse};
        clipToDrag._parent.globalToLocal(p);
        clipToDrag._x = p.x;
        clipToDrag._y = p.y;
        updateAfterEvent();
    }
}
MovieClip.prototype.dragNot = function(){
    this.onMouseMove = null;
}
createEmptyMovieClip("JustSomeClip", 5);
createEmptyMovieClip("Container", 10);
Container._x = 100;
Container._y = 100;
var dot1 = Container.createEmptyMovieClip("Dot", 10);
dot1.lineStyle(36, 0);
dot1.lineTo(1, 0);
var dot2 = createEmptyMovieClip("Dot", 20);
dot2.lineStyle(24, 0xFF0000);
dot2.lineTo(1, 0);
onMouseDown = function(){
    JustSomeClip.dragIt(dot1);
    Container.dragIt(dot2);
}
onMouseUp = function (){
    JustSomeClip.dragNot();
    Container.dragNot();
}

Hope it helps,
