Error #1069: TextField Drag/Drop

Question

I have created a movieclip which I create instances of at
runtime by clicking a button, these movieclips all have the name
aCloud# where # is the instance number.
My trouble is that the movie clip has a dynamic text box slap
in the middle of it which isn't working with my drag and drop
function. If I grip the cloud around the edges, the drag drop
works. if I click the middle it does not and gives the following
error in the output window
ReferenceError: Error #1069: Property dropTarget not found on
flash.text.TextField and there is no default value at
Suite_fla::MainTimeline/myDragHandler()
Here is the myDragHandler function which does the down click
handler part I also have an up handler which does stopDrag() but
this does the same thing giving me two errors for each click.
function myDragHandler(event:MouseEvent):void
var object = event.target;
object.startDrag();
So I need to drag the movie clip even if the user clicks the
textbox in the middle of it. Any hints or tips would be welcomed.
thank you.

Answer 1

in your for loop where you assign the event handlers, try
setting the mouseChildren property to false on the aCloud
MovieClips.
