Vertical / Horizontal Scrolling in Flash

The following examples below show how to make a movie clip in flash dragable either horizontally or vertically with set positions stopping the movie clip being dragged to far.
In these examples we will use 50 as the lowest position the object can be moved and 200 as the highest value that the object can be moved.

Verticle Scrolling (up and down):

on (press) {
startDrag(this, 0, this._x, 50, this._x, 200);
}

The opposite effect can be applied when you switch the variables and number around to this._y

Horizontal Scrolling (left and right):

on (press) {
startDrag(this, 0, this._x, 50, this._x, 200);
}
