Hi, I’m trying to make a container that can be dragged with the mouse, I’ve checked out this example: [https://labs.phaser.io/edit.html?src=src/game%20objects/container/draggable%20container.js&v=3.54.0#](https://labs.phaser.io/edit.html?src=src/game%20objects/container/draggable%20container.js&v=3.54.0#) The problem is that this code doesn’t work on my program, the drag event doesn’t work, but I checked out what would happen if I use it on the “Making your first Phaser 3 game” code and it works perfectly in there. I don’t know why is this happening, only that event isn’t working. ---

How can i send them into the background till i need them? Because they seem to overwrite my game window so that nothing is clickable anymore but the DOM Element. > [@DOM Container blocks pointer events](https://phaser.discourse.group/t/dom-container-blocks-pointer-events/9261): > > I let Phaser create a DOM container, but the container blocks the pointer events for the game. Hovering over game objects does not work. Could someone help me?
