[SIZE=1]Hi there,[/SIZE]

[SIZE=1]I really need help with one of my project. [/SIZE]

[SIZE=1]I have created this swf that allows me to drag my movie clip around with easing effects. However, if I drag it too fast, my movie clip will actually goes out of my “flash”.[/SIZE]  
[SIZE=1](PS: I actually got this script from a user in this forum. Sorry about that. Hence, i left the credits there.)[/SIZE]  
[SIZE=1][/SIZE]

[SIZE=1]Is there anyway where I can set the boundaries where the movie clip can be dragged to? [/SIZE]  
[SIZE=1]I’ve came across a website where the effect of dragging within a specific area is exactly what I desired.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=1]Here’s the link to the website. [/SIZE][[SIZE=1]http://www.conceptm.nl/[/SIZE]](http://www.conceptm.nl/)

[SIZE=1]Also, I’m using AS2 and here it is.[/SIZE]
