Which direction clip moving ?

Hi all,

I have a simple clip with a startDrag onPress and stopDrag onRelease - I was looking for a way to determine which way the clip was being dragged, either up or down.

```auto

slider_mc.onPress = function() {
	startDrag(this, false, 186, 300, 186, 0);
	this.onEnterFrame = function() {
		if (this._y += 1) {
			trace("moving up");
		}else{
			trace("moving down")
			}
	};
};
slider_mc.onRelease = function() {
	delete this.onEnterFrame;
	stopDrag();
};

```
