Hi,

I'm trying to implement dragging using startDrag/stopDrag but I need to constrict the axis so it only drags on one of the axis, is this possible? I cant seem to get it working, I tried checking the X position against a starting value for instance and forcing it back if it changes but that makes no difference.

Thanks

Hi,

Yes, it is possible. All you have to do is to listen for the drawgExit event and then you can do whatever you want with your dragging. Something like this:

mesh.addEventListener( "exitDrag", exitDragEvent );

private function exitDragEvent( e:Event ):void
{
    // this will force your mesh to remain at y = 10, but will allow it to be dragged on x
    e.target.y = 10;
}

With regards to your second question... I'm not sure what rotation you want to prevent. startDrag() doesn't rotate objects...

Cheers,
