Drag and drop in as3

Question

Hi

For my A-level ict this year I have to create a drag and drop system for a clothing company. In my designs I had an idea that I could have three tabs down the left hand side of the screen these could then be clicked on and a menu would appear with draggable items to go on to a mannequin in the middle of the screen. So let's say the user clicked on tops a menu would appear with a selection of tops that can be dragged from the menu onto the mannequin then after selecting a top they can select the trousers tab and a selection of trousers will appear for dragging and dropping. The problem is that my teacher says that it won't work because the top will disappear when any of the other tabs are selected she suggested some kind of nested stage is this possible and if so how?

I am using as3 in flash cs3.

What you can do is create a new instance of the object that is clicked for dragging as a child of the mannequin's movieclip and drag that into place. That way it is gong to stay when the menues change. If the object needs to be removed from the menu then just turn it invisible there.
