Step 12 :

Open Movie Clip window, create a new layer above layer top and rename it to drag window and insert a blank keyframe at frame 1.

Select the shape and turn it into a button by clicking Insert-Convert to symbol, select Button and name it drag window. Open drag window and move the keyframe which contains the shape to the Hit-state frame (so that it won't show up). It should look like this:

}
