Drag and Drop Dynamic Text

Question

my code:
hazard1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, pickUp);
hazard1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, dropIt);
function pickUp(event:MouseEvent):void {
event.target.startDrag(true);
function dropIt(event:MouseEvent):void {
event.target.stopDrag(true);
I receive error:
ReferenceError: Error #1069: Property stopDrag not found on
flash.text.TextField and there is no default value.
at dragdrop_as3_complete_fla::MainTimeline/dropIt()
Im trying to drag a movie clip that contains a dynamic text
field only. Is there something that I'm missing

Answer 1

var dyntext:Sprite = new Sprite();
dyntext.x = hazard1.x;
dyntext.y = hazard1.y;
hazard1.x = hazard1.y = 0;
addChild(dyntext);
dyntext.addChild(hazard1);
dyntext.mouseChildren = false; // OPTIONAL - STOPS TEXT FROM
BEING SELECTED
dyntext.buttonMode = true; // OPTIONAL - SHOWS BUTTON CURSOR
dyntext.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, textDown);
dyntext.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, textUp);
function textDown(ev:Event):void {
dyntext.startDrag();
function textUp(ev:Event):void {
dyntext.stopDrag();
