hi, can anyone show me where in this script i need to be looking to place the mc named “headmc” to a fixed point on the stage.
at present all of the clips fall to the bottom of the stage together…
i want them to all stay connected - but i would like the “headmc” to start and stay at a fixed point on the stage… the other clips then hang around it - as if hung on the wall…
here is the script that i am working with - if anyone can help me out i’d be really grateful…

xd = a - c;
yd = b - d;

function dragobj()

a = drag;
xd = _xmouse - a.x;
yd = _ymouse - a.y;
dis = dist(_xmouse, _ymouse, a.x, a.y);
dx = xd / dis;
dy = yd / dis;
force = Math.abs((1 - dis) / 2);
a.xv = a.xv + dx * force;
a.yv = a.yv + dy * force;
} // End of the function

really hope someone can see what i can’t
