Hi,

I took a look at your file, this will help you, although I am not sure how it will effect the other items as they were not in the file, replace all of your code on the timeline with this

var marginal = 70;

var skinType = "1";// added to name skin type from start - 1 for white, 2 for dark

dra = function ()
{
    this.startDrag(false);
    this.swapDepths(_root.getNextHighestDepth());
};

slapp = function ()

    this.stopDrag();
    if (this._x > -marginal && this._x < marginal && this._y > -marginal && this._y < marginal)
    {
        trace("snap");
        this._x = 0;
        this._y = 0;
    }
    else
    {
        trace("no snap");
    }
};
