Need help with Volume Slider

Question

Hi All,
I created a graphic to simulate a volume slider. Its working, but i want a movieclip graphic (vol_switch) to follow the mask. It is only following it after i release the mouse. i cannot figure out how to have it follow on the mouse drag without taking precedence over the mask and disabling that. any suggestions?
I tried the code in bold, but not working.
stop();
maskee.cacheAsBitmap = true;
vol_slider.cacheAsBitmap = true;
maskee.mask = vol_slider;
function startDragHandler(evt:MouseEvent):void
vol_slider.startDrag(false, new Rectangle(2, 0, 298, 0));
stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, stopDragHandler);
vol_switch.x = vol_slider.x
function stopDragHandler(evt:MouseEvent):void
vol_slider.stopDrag();
vol_switch.x = vol_slider.x
stage.removeEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, stopDragHandler);
vol_slider.buttonMode = true;
vol_slider.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, startDragHandler);
thank you in advance!!

Thanks NED!
that was it... I got the code below working.
stop();
maskee.cacheAsBitmap = true;
vol_slider.cacheAsBitmap = true;
maskee.mask = vol_slider;
stage.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME,myFunction);
function myFunction(event:Event) {
vol_switch.x = vol_slider.x;
function startDragHandler(evt:MouseEvent):void {
vol_slider.startDrag(false, new Rectangle(2, 0, 298, 0));
stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, stopDragHandler);
function stopDragHandler(evt:MouseEvent):void {
vol_slider.stopDrag();
stage.removeEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, stopDragHandler);
vol_switch.buttonMode = true;
vol_switch.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, startDragHandler);
