Hi

I am using this simple code to startDrag()

drag.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE\_DOWN, dragD);  
stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE\_UP, dragU);

function dragD(event:Event):void {  
this.startDrag();  
}

function dragU(event:Event):void {  
this.stopDrag();  
}

I need to drag only horizontally. Can anyone help me with this?

Thanks
