Drag and Drop axis lock

Question

I am creating animations in Flash 5.5 for use in Captivate 5.5.  I have created a drag-and-drop animation for a horizontal line and a vertical line, to act as moveable "straight edges" for use on complicated charts.  How do I lock the horizontal line to just move along the Y axis, and the Vertical line to just move along the X axis?  (I'm a relative newbir working in Flash.)  Thanks for any help.

use:
/* Drag and Drop
Makes the specified symbol instance moveable with drag and drop.
movieClip_1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, fl_ClickToDrag);
function fl_ClickToDrag(event:MouseEvent):void
    movieClip_1.startDrag(false,new Rectangle(0,0,0,stage.stageHeight));
stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, fl_ReleaseToDrop);
function fl_ReleaseToDrop(event:MouseEvent):void
    movieClip_1.stopDrag();
/* Click to Position an Object
Moves the specified symbol instance to the x-coordinate and y-coordinate you specify.
Instructions:
1. Replace the value 200 with the x-coordinate
   where you want to position the object.
2. Replace the value 100 with the y-coordinate where you want to position the object.
/* Drag and Drop
Makes the specified symbol instance moveable with drag and drop.
movieClip_2.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, fl_ClickToDrag_2);
function fl_ClickToDrag_2(event:MouseEvent):void
   movieClip_2.startDrag(false,new Rectangle(0,0,stage.stageWidth,0));
stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, fl_ReleaseToDrop_2);
function fl_ReleaseToDrop_2(event:MouseEvent):void
    movieClip_2.stopDrag();
Hope this helps.  Thanks for your interest.
