onDragOver for Actionscript 3.0

Question

I am having a hell of a time getting a MovieClip to detect whether another MovieClip is being dragged over it in ActionScript 3.0? Does anyone know of a good implementation.

Thanks

You can also use DisplayObject.hitTestObject()

movieClipOnStage.hitTestObject(movieClipYouAreDragging)

If you do this on a loop while you are dragging (using an Event.ENTER_FRAME, Event.MOUSE_MOVE or a Timer event) you should be able to get the result you are after.
