Object appears wrong frame

Question

Hello, I'm making simple drag and drop game for several letters. Some of the letters appear in the wrong frame and generate an error when clicked.

I'm attaching an example of the file i'm working on, if someone can help would be great (Test2.fla - Google Drive ). A, B, C are fine but XYZ carry on to the next frame. what can be done to stop this.

stop();
var orig1X:Number=A1.x;
var orig1Y:Number=A1.y;
A1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, dragTheObject);
A1.addEventListener (MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, item1Release);
function dragTheObject(event:MouseEvent):void {
var item:MovieClip=MovieClip(event.target);
item.startDrag();
var topPos:uint=this.numChildren-1;
this.setChildIndex(item, topPos);
}
function item1Release(event:MouseEvent):void {
     var item:MovieClip=MovieClip(event.target);
     item.stopDrag();
       if (pos1.hitTestPoint(item.x,item.y)) {
       item.x=pos1.x;
       item.y=pos1.y;


} else {

    item.x=orig1X;
       item.y=orig1Y;

}
};
A1.buttonMode = true;

So this is the code im using for the drag and drop game

Look at your timeline. In the first three frames your letters layer is under the box layer. In the next three frames those box frames are empty. This allows the letters to show up. The reason that the letters are showing in frames where you haven't put them is because you have positioned those letters with actionscript. Once an object is controlled by actionscript it will persist on the stage until it is removed by actionscript.
