Draging multiple instances of multiple objects

[equinox007 webforumsuser@macromedia.com]

When I try this - dragging multiple instances of multiple objects onto a canvas area i have made the object instances dont stay around...

For example, i have objects TEXTBOX, COMBOBOX and LISTBOX to be dragged out on the screen (at runtime).
I first drag out TEXTBOX and place it where i want.

I then proceed and drag out COMBOBOX onto the canvas along side TEXTBOX

When i proceed to drag out the third item, LISTBOX, the TEXTBOX instance that i dragged out earlier has disapeared.....

Why has this happened??

If i insisted and forced it, i could drag out onto the canvas multiples of each object , say 50 times and i will only have on the screen 38 items..... the vanishing items do not remain consistant...

My Code is as below... Please help if you can!! I am short on Expertise....




function dragalong() {
this.startDrag();
trace("Reconise " + this._name);
loadElements(this._name);
}



function dropper() {
this.stopDrag();
delta_x = this._x - 307.8;
delta_y = this._y - 41.6;
txtname.text = this._name;
txtwidth.text = this._width;
}


checkbox.onRollOver = function() {
mycheckbox = attachMovie("CheckBox", "CheckBox"+o, o);
txtname.text = mycheckbox._name;
mycheckbox._x = this._x;
mycheckbox._y = this._y;
gotoAndStop(15);
mycheckbox.onPress = dragalong;
mycheckbox.onRelease = dropper;
o++;
};

radiobutton.onRollOver = function() {
myradiobutton = attachMovie("RadioButton", "RadioButton"+p, p);
txtname.text = myradiobutton._name;
myradiobutton._x = this._x;
myradiobutton._y = this._y;
gotoAndStop(15);
myradiobutton.onPress = dragalong;
myradiobutton.onRelease = dropper;
p++;
};

listbox.onRollOver = function() {
mylistbox = attachMovie("ListBox", "ListBox"+q, q);
txtname.text = mylistbox._name;
mylistbox._x = this._x;
mylistbox._y = this._y;
gotoAndStop(15);
mylistbox.onPress = dragalong;
mylistbox.onRelease = dropper;
q++;




Thanks so much in advance!!

add traces to your code - trace("o - "+o); to ensure that unique depths are being set,
if not, try presetting the increment variables o,p,q -
Line#1 - o=1; p=1000; q=9000;
