Hello

Could you provide your fla file.

Best regards,

To address the person who wanted to know why I used actionscript rather than
fiddling with a tween... the answer is size and granuality. Its always
better size-wise to forgoe tweens if you can do it with actionscript. Also
the tween is limited to the number of steps I could have, my actionscript is
as granular as the mouse.

As for how its done... It is simply 3 movie clips, draggy, which is
draggable but invisible, another named ball that is the ball and finally a
two frame controller movie clip.

At first draggy is over ball, and when you click on draggy it sets a
variable /:drag = true

The controller movie clip is always looking at the /:drag variable, and if
it is true it uses the equation for a line x^2 + y^2 = r^2 to figure out
that for the current Y of draggy, what the cooresponding X should be. It
then places ball on that X and on the Y of draggy. WHen you let go of draggy
it snaps it to the current position of ball so that you can start again.
