ASe how to click-and-drag solution and question

I finally found an AS3 code that will allow me to scroll through a series of images by clicking and dragging left or right.
the link to this code is this

http://services.communitymx.com/cont...0CA&print=true

like i said this code allows you to drag left-right.
i have managed to switch to drag up-down,

MY QUESTION IS: IS THERE A WAY TO DRAG BOTH LEFT-RIGHT, AND UP-DOWN?
i don't mean rotate the image up and down, i mean have it rotate as it is (left to right), but be able to drag the mouse up or to the right, to make it rotate right, or drag the mouse down and to the left, to make it rotate left.
right now when you drag the mouse up or down, nothing happens. so to clarify, i'm saying be able to drag left-right-up-down and it will still rotate

here is the code you'll find at that link...

Code:

---

photos.stop();

var startX:Number;
var startFrame:int;
var changeDistance:int;
var travelDistance:int;

photos.buttonMode = true;
photos.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN,
  pressHandler);

function pressHandler(evt:MouseEvent):void {
  startX = photos.mouseX;
  startFrame = photos.currentFrame;
  photos.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_MOVE,
    moveHandler);
  stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP,
    releaseHandler);
}
function releaseHandler(evt:MouseEvent):void {
  photos.removeEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_MOVE,
    moveHandler);
  stage.removeEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP,
    releaseHandler);
}

function moveHandler(evt:MouseEvent):void {
  changeDistance = Math.round((photos.mouseX
    - startX) / 10);
  travelDistance = startFrame + changeDistance;
  if (travelDistance > photos.totalFrames) {
    photos.gotoAndStop(travelDistance %
      photos.totalFrames);
  } else if (travelDistance < 0) {
    photos.gotoAndStop(photos.totalFrames +
      (travelDistance % photos.totalFrames));
  } else {
    photos.gotoAndStop(travelDistance);
  }
}
