Using "onPress" event haneler the movie clip can detect when the left mouse button is pressed while the cursor is over the movie clip. When this is true the event handeler calls a function.

ball_mc.onPress = function(){

In the function the "startDrag()" command is used to make the movie clip move to the current cursor position.

ball_mc.startDrag();
}
