Hey there!

I’m having a dragable MC inside my main movie, like this:

```auto
on(press){
startdrag(this);
}
on(release){
stopdrag();
}

```

But I want to set a limit for the drag, let’s say my main movie is 300X300 pixels, and I want my MC to be dragable only inside the 300X300 pixels, how do you do this? 😏
