Is there a way to set an attribute or similar so that you know if a movieclip has been moved?

WHat I have is an icon of a folder. On mouse\_DOWN it creates a new folder, sets the coordinates to the mouse and starts a drag. What I want to do is ask some questions the very first time the MC is dropped. Later if the MC is dragged again I do not want to ask the questions.

Is there something in a mc I can set so that I know not to ask the question again?

Man, I hope this makes sense. I think I have been working on this too long today.
