You need to keep track of the previous x value and compare that to the
new x value. The simplest way to achieve this is an onEnterFrame
function (although note this is the least efficient way).
For example try putting a movie clip called "ball_mc" on your stage and
add this code to the first frame, run it and try dragging the movie clip
around.
var oldX:Number = ball_mc._x;
onEnterFrame = function(){
if(ball_mc._x > oldX){
trace("is moving right");
} else if (ball_mc._x < oldX){
trace("is moving left");
} else {
trace("not moving along x axis");
}
oldX = ball_mc._x;
}
ball_mc.onPress = startDrag;
ball_mc.onRelease = stopDrag;
Hope that helps!

hi, I'm doing something pretty simple, I have a movie clipo which
starts drag, I'd like to move this in the x axis, but I don't know
how to program this to launch an event if the x axis is positive and
other is the x axis is negative,
or simpler how can I trigger an event is the movie clip is moving
right and trigger other event is the movieClip is moving left....
any ideas?
so far I'm using this.
var xright = this._x+1;
var xleft = this._x-1;
if (this._x==xright){
launching
}
if(this._x==xleft){
launching2
}
