I’m curious as to how to drag a move clip but only change the x value, so dragging left and right. Obviously the startDrag() allows you to drag all over. I had tried

map\_mc.onPress = function(){  
this.startDrag()  
this.onEnterFrame = function(){  
this.\_y = 0  
}  
}  
map\_mc.onRelease = function(){  
delete this.onEnterFrame  
stopDrag()  
}

which “kinda” works but is far far from perfect. This is more or less makes the movieclip slide from side to side, but like i said, its not perfect. Any ideas?😱
