Applying Drag, Snap Back Into Original Position To An Array - actionscript-3

Question

I am attempting to drag a movie clip and then have it snap back into its original position after being released. I want to apply this functioniality to an array with actionscript3. Here is the code so far:
var dragArray:Array = new Array;
dragArray.push(blockSmalla);
dragArray.push(blockSmallb);
dragArray.push(blockSmallc);
dragArray.push(blockSmalld);
dragArray.push(blockSmalle);
var startPosition:Point;
function drag(e:Event):void {
dragArray[i].startDrag();
startPosition = new Point( dragArray[i].x, dragArray[i].y);
}
function dragStop(e:Event):void {
dragArray[i].stopDrag();
dragArray[i].x = startPosition.x;
dragArray[i].y = startPosition.y;
startPosition = null;
}
for (var i:uint = 0; i < dragArray.length; i++) {
dragArray[i].addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, drag);
dragArray[i].stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, dragStop);
}
The function is not being applied to the array. Any suggestions?

I think what null was trying to tell you is that within each function scope you should remove dragArray[i] and use e.currentTarget instead.
Here's a simple fix:
var dragArray:Array = new Array;
dragArray.push(blockSmalla);
dragArray.push(blockSmallb);
dragArray.push(blockSmallc);
dragArray.push(blockSmalld);
dragArray.push(blockSmalle);
var startPosition:Point;
function drag(e:Event):void {
e.currentTarget.startDrag();
startPosition = new Point( e.currentTarget.x, e.currentTarget.y);
}
function dragStop(e:Event):void {
e.currentTarget.stopDrag();
e.currentTarget.x = startPosition.x;
e.currentTarget.y = startPosition.y;
startPosition = null;
}
for (var i:uint = 0; i < dragArray.length; i++) {
dragArray[i].addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, drag);
dragArray[i].addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, dragStop);
}
Also note I removed the stage reference on your MouseUp listener.
