flash actionscript: does anyone know the correct syntax for the startDrag() function. I want to
limit my object draggable area to like 100px x 100px. in ActionScript 2 all I
needed was this.startDrag(100,100,100,100); AS3 is puking after I enter this
value.

any sugggestions?

this is my code by the way the startDrag is located at the bottom

package
{
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import flash.events.MouseEvent;




public class DragDrop extends MovieClip
{
public var __targetPiece;
public var _origX:Number;
public var _origY:Number;

public function DragDrop()
{
_origX = this.x
_origY = this.y;
this.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, dragMovie);
this.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, dropMovie);
this.buttonMode = true;
}


private function dragMovie(event:MouseEvent):void
{
this.startDrag();
}


private function dropMovie(event:MouseEvent):void
{
this.stopDrag();
}
}
}

as2 would puke, too.

so how would this look
this.startDrag(lockcenter,true,20,20,20,20):void

also do I need to call

flash.geom.Rectangle;

no. You need to create a Rectangle bounding box.....


import flash.geom.Rectangle;

var dragBnd:Rectangle = new Rectangle( 20, 20, 20, 20 );
