How can i make this action script only work in a specific area of the flash doc? and only move horizontally?

onClipEvent (load) {  
\_x = 500;  
\_y = 375;  
speed = 10;  
}  
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {  
endX = \_root.\_xmouse-50;  
endY = \_root.\_ymouse-50;  
\_x += (endX-\_x)/speed;  
\_y += (endY-\_y)/speed;  
}

Thanks
