[jazzman121]

I have setup a button so that when i press it , it drags this movieclip and when i release it stopsdrag.... what i wanan do is.. detect if the movieclip has been draged or not.... like how do i pass set a variable when a movie clip has been draged...

so far ive set it up soo that when i press the button it sets a variable... but a user might just press the button and not drag the movieclip i wanna set the variable not when the button is pressed but when the movie clip has actually been draged... ?

Check my attachment. It has commented code of what I think you are trying to achieve.

Here is another version that when you drag it it resets the _x position so that it detects yet again whether it has been dragged or not. This allows you to check more than once if it was dragged if you wanted to.

I guess it could be an easy thing to overlook. It all depends on the way you approach your problem. I just thought to myself that if the position wasn't in the original position then it was dragged, so I took that thought and put it into AS. I usually like to think of my situation in words before I put it into script. It makes things easier sometimes.
