Draggable elastic MC, isnt that elastic

i have an MC (hand) that ive made to be draggable. once the hand is released it should return to its original position…but of course, it doesnt.
the code is a slight variation of some i found a while back and have kept in a folder.

first frame on code layer in main timeline


hand.elasticPos = function(targetX, targetY, accel, convert) {
	tellTarget (this) {
		xPos = xPos * accel + (targetX - _x) * convert;
		yPos = ypos * accel + (targetY - _y) * convert;
		_x += xPos;
		_y += yPos;
	}
};

on the ‘hand’ MC


onClipEvent (load) {
	x = _root.hand._x;
	y = _root.hand._y;
}

onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
	if (!pressed) {
		elasticPos(x, y, .9, .5);
		// elasticPos( targetX, targetY, accel, convert);
	}
}

and finally inside the hand MC is a button for draggable reasons, on which is…



on (press) {
	//ignore this stuff...
        _root.LEN.gotoAndStop("LEP");
	_root.REN.gotoAndStop("REP");
	_root.LEB.gotoAndStop("LEBP");
	_root.MN.gotoAndStop("MP");
        // end of ignore
	this.startDrag();
	pressed = true;
}
on (release, releaseOutside) {
	this.stopDrag();
        //ignore this stuff...
	_root.LEN.gotoAndStop("LEN");
	_root.REN.gotoAndStop("REN");
	_root.LEB.gotoAndPlay("LEBN");
	_root.MN.gotoAndStop("MN");
       //end
	pressed = false;
	}

yeh. it doesnt work.
any help would be fantastic
its probably something blindinly obvious but ive been messing with actionscript all day and its all starting to blur… :slight_smile:
