More info on using drag and drop in AS3?

Question

I have coded a basic drag and drop using a rope .jpg saved as an mc. the idea is to have the user drag the rope from left to right using the mouse down and up functions. I was able to do this but I'm trying to add to the functionality by doing the following:
dragging limited to a certain amount per drag
no dragging up or down just left to right
set boundries within the screensize
I've looked and could only find as2 and basic tutes on this
here is what I have so far
any help?
ropeclip_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, ropedrag);
ropeclip_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, ropedrop);
function ropedrag(e:MouseEvent):void
     ropeclip_mc.startDrag();
function ropedrop(e:MouseEvent):void
     ropeclip_mc.stopDrag();

Hi,
Along with your code add this code to specify the dragging limited.
var sbound:Rectangle = new Rectangle(x,y,width,height);
x  states x position of the drag object starts.
y  states y position of the drag object starts.
width states width of the drag object.
height states height of the drag object
ropeclip_mc.startDrag(true,sbound);
Try this.
