Hello, try this:

mcCard.onPress = function(){
    this.startDrag();
}
mcCard.onRelease = function(){
    this.stopDrag();
}
 

But make the frame rate more than 12, it be better. I usually make that 24.

thanks for replying
can you be a little more specific, i'm kind of new to actionscript.

on whice object do i write the code? on the frame? or the cards?
do i have to do anything else for the code to work? or does it work simply by writing what you told me...

thanks again,
yuval.

Hello: (Another way)
Select the Card (but make sure the card is a movieclip or a button) and bring the actions panel and write:

on(press){
    this.startDrag();
}
on(release){
    this.stopDrag();
}
 

Hope this help you.
Any thing else: post again.

You must select every Card and bring the actions panel and write that code.
I mean you must that code on every card by itself.

If you want to drag one card and other cards drags with that card, read below:
You must make an instance to every card, first select the card then go to the properties panel, in the properties panel you will see the instance textbox, so make to each card an instance name.
I will call the cards instance's name: mcCard1, mcCard2, mcCard3............
Read this:

on(press){
    //"this" keyword means the card you selected on it, and write the code on it.
    this.startDrag();
 
    mcCard2.startDrag();
    mcCard3.startDrag();
}
on(release){
    this.stopDrag();
}
