Pressmove event not working with if else statement

Question

I made a switch button (first click: shape1_animation plays, second click: shape2_animation plays) in Adobe Animate. It works fine with the "click" event. But it doesn't work with the "pressmove" event and I wonder why. Projectfile:https://www.dropbox.com/s/2mh8fxah9o7a7qk/play_movieclip%2005.fla?dl=0 When I "pressmove" the button, the two animations play simultaneously. So it completely ignores the if else statements Maybe there is a simple awnser to this? this.button.addEventListener("pressmove", onPressMove.bind(this));
let counter = 0;

function onPressMove() {
	if (counter == 0) {
		this.shape1_animation.play();
		counter=1;
	} else {
		this.shape2_animation.play();
		counter=0;
	}
}

I think you are right. When ik click and drag it ones, this entire list pops up. Is there a way to fix this?

I suppose you want to run the animation (shape1_animation) and at the same time - to drag the button.
Maybe something like this would work...

let counter = 0;

this.button.addEventListener("click", onClick.bind(this));
this.button.addEventListener("pressmove", onPressMove.bind(this));

function onClick( evt ) {
   evt.currentTarget.offset = { x: evt.stageX / stage.scaleX - evt.currentTarget.x, y: evt.stageY / stage.scaleY - evt.currentTarget.y };	
	if (counter == 0) {
		this.shape1_animation.play();
		counter=1;
	} else {
		this.shape2_animation.play();
		counter=0;
	}
}

function onPressMove( evt ){
	evt.currentTarget.x = evt.stageX / stage.scaleX - evt.currentTarget.offset.x;
	evt.currentTarget.y = evt.stageY / stage.scaleY - evt.currentTarget.offset.y;
}

Hi,My guess is, because the mouse dragging generates multiple "pressmove" events and the variable counter sequentially switches between 0 and 1.Add a trace() statement to see what is actually happening.
