This probably is a no brainer…

I am hiding the cursor and draging a movie clip after clicking on a button.

How would I make this movie clip move along the x axis only?

```auto

function loadCoin() {
    Mouse.hide();
    startDrag("loadedCoin", true);
}

```

This did the trick! :hugegrin:

One more question. Say I want to click on a button. On release I’d like the object attached to my mouse to get dropped off right where I click. So it wouldn’t follow the mouse after the button is clicked.

Any suggestion on how to accomplish this?

Thanks

function unloadCoin() {
    Mouse.show();
    delete onMouseMove;
}
button.onPress = unloadCoin;

```
