[COLOR=black][FONT=Arial]I thought I saw somewhere that you could set a listener to monitor a MovieClip’s position, to see if it has been moved. [/FONT][/COLOR][COLOR=black][FONT=Arial]Is this possible in as2? Only as3? Do I just have a loose screw?[/FONT][/COLOR]

[COLOR=black][FONT=Arial]Or is there an event that triggers when a MC is dragged (not pressed, not dragged out, but dragged around)?[/FONT][/COLOR]

[COLOR=black][FONT=Arial]I can’t set a listener to just watch any variable and tell me if it changes can I? That would be amazing…[/FONT][/COLOR]

[COLOR=black][FONT=Arial]Well, that was a lot of questions. Anyway, thanks in advance![/FONT][/COLOR]
