Hello, I have function for moving the movieclip but I would like to add boundary for it. And another thing is that the movieclip contains a textfield for receiving the text input from the user so I have the autoSize=true for the textfield. Then I wonder how to modify the code so that when the movieclip exist the boundary, it couldn’t move any more? Thanks very much in advance!

this._x > boundaryX ? this._x = boundaryX : null;
