Hi all, i have a moveclip that is scaled inside a mask.  
i want to use the startDrag feature to move it around but i only want it to move as far as the boundaries,  
so if i try to move it to the right, it doesn’t let me move it further than the right hand boundary.  
does that make any sense?

i presume i’ll have to set the width and height as the boundaries or something along those lines?  
thanks  
Dan
