question...

[coldfused]

when using this code:

on (press) {
startDrag ("/menu", false, -452, 11, 0, 11);
}
on (release, releaseOutside, rollOut, dragOver) {
stopDrag ();
}

how does it calculate the constraint..pixels,inches,etc?
and when it does this will it constrain to the size of the movie itself or how exactly does that work?

In pixels... Carl!
BTW, you should change your default dimensions to pixels rather than inches, I've told you a million times!

It contrains the clip you're draging within the boundaries you set in relation to your main movie size.
So if you have:
startDrag ("test", false, 100, 0, 700, 100);
In a 800*600 (pixels) movie, you can drag the clip "test" up to 100 pixels from the left edge of your main movie, and right up to 100 pixels from the right edge of your main movie (800 - 700 = 100).
Same for top and botton. You could drag this "test" clip from the top up to 100 pixels from the top.
You're constraining the drag to a defined rectangle!

Still workin' on your other question. Don't think it's possible the way you want to do it!
