Hey guys!  
I have a movie clip that can only move to certain parts in the stage. For this I used another movie clip that supposedly should constitue the rectangle constraint. But this doesn’t seem to work !

startDrag(this,true,bounds.\_x,bounds.\_y,bounds.\_x+bounds.\_width,bounds.\_y+bounds.\_height);

Any help please ?
