Dragging Movie Clip With Easing Tween

[nukecreative]

Any assistance in this would be fantastic!

I've been going through the motions of trying to figure out the script involved in producing a draggable movie clip that eases out gradually once the mouse has been 'released'...

see example here -

i've tried using startDrag, onClipEvent etc etc with mx tween transitions but as i'm more of a designer than techy I must be getting things mixed up as i can't seem to get it right.

pleeeeease help me figure this one out!

many thanks

I wrote an example script - hope you can get the basic idea from this. "mcX" is the MovieClip instance on Stage.

// AS2 main timeline
var isDrag:Boolean = false;
var lastX:Number = mcX._x;
var lastXMouse:Number = _xmouse;
var vector:Number = 0;
mcX.onPress = function():Void  {
	isDrag = true;
};
mcX.onRelease = mcX.onReleaseOutside=function ():Void {
	isDrag = false;
};
mcX.onEnterFrame = function():Void  {
	var thisX:Number = this._x;
	var thisXMouse:Number = _xmouse;
	if (thisXMouse != lastXMouse) {
		vector = thisX-lastX;
		if (isDrag) {
			this._x += thisXMouse-lastXMouse;
		}
	} else {
		this._x += vector;
		vector /= 1.05;
	}
	lastXMouse = thisXMouse;
	lastX = thisX;
};
stop();
