Drag within custom boundaries HELP!

Hi All,

I hope there are some clever sods that will help me solve this.

My problem is :

I am trying to create a movieClip that will always stay on a track. You get me, or have a lost you?

Picture the London underground map, I want a little circle that will follow the track BUT also follow my cursor.

So if I drag the circle to the right it will go to the right but always stay on track even if there are slopes or corners in the track.

Please help!

Thank you all in advance!

AS2 preferred, but I'm willing to migrate to AS3 for this.

have to try a simple gotoAndStop? ie: playing a timeline based on mouse position.

No, I need a dynamic way of doing it..

Thanks though,

When I got the brief, I thought there would be a way of flash doing it no-problem but I think it's getting harder and harder to find a proper solution.

A point I didn't really make clear (which was pretty stupid) is that I need to be able to drag the circle around the Map. Similar to that of Google Maps Directions.

Please help!

I didn't check the source but this looks close to what you want:
