drag object only left to right

[redfred1969]

I'm new to actionscript. I have figured out how to make an MC draggable however I am trying to restrict the movement. I am trying to make a MC draggable only left to right or right to left but not up or down. I assume this is very simple but I can't seem to figure it out.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Hey there redfred1969!

One quick qestion do u want it to follow it all the time? cause if u do then add this to the MC

onClipEvent(enterFrame){
this.x=_root.xmouse;
}

or on mousedown:

onClipEvent(mouseDown){
this._x=_root._xmouse;
}

you also can check with hittest if the mouse is above the mc, insert this in an if-loop and it will only drag when your mouse is over the mc.
