Re: [Dynapi-Help] newbie ? re: dragging

Try the cover layer trick.

After setting the HTML content (if at all), add a new child layer. Set the
child layer to be equal to the size of the main layer. Re-direct click an
mouse move requests from the child layer to the parent layer.

In a version I'm working with, there is no need to re-direct events.
It's automatic.
