Movie Clip follow-mouse limit area

Question

this is a follow mouse with elasticity code, works fine.
the problem is about the limit area witch the movieclip can move or not
in the bold area of the code, i can stop the mc but only in one axis,

for ex:
if(x_ziel > 608){ x_ziel = 608; }

it stops following the mouse but only in the _x, it keeps moving the _y (i want both to stop)

if my Movie Clip trespass my "_x" limit, id like to my MC stops also in the _y but with the coordinate that it was just before my mouse trespass it.

onClipEvent (load) {
vx = 0;
vy = 0;
x_wert = this._x;
y_wert = this._y;
x_ziel = this._x;
y_ziel = this._y;
elasticity = 1.6; //1.1, quanto maior menos elastico
tempo = 10; //5, quanto maior menos rapido
}
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
x_wert = x_wert+vx;
y_wert = y_wert+vy;
vx = (vx+((x_ziel - 528 - x_wert)/tempo))/elasticity;
vy = (vy+((y_ziel - 546 - y_wert)/tempo))/elasticity;
this._x = x_wert;
this._y = y_wert;
}
onClipEvent (mouseMove) {
x_ziel = _root._xmouse;
y_ziel = _root._ymouse;

if(x_ziel > 608){
x_ziel = 608;
}
if(x_ziel < 400){
x_ziel = 400;
}
if(y_ziel > 611){
y_ziel = 611;
}
if(y_ziel < 513){
y_ziel = 513;
}
}

anyone can help me?

hey craig, that´s pretty much what i want, but it´s stoping too abrupting, without the ease
is there some way to stop it with some ease?

and i was trying to put this code into the frame, not inte the MC, but it´s not working. i know im doing some stupidity though. heres the code

my_mc.onLoad = function () {
vx = 0;
vy = 0;
x_wert = my_mc._x;
y_wert = my_mc._y;
x_ziel = my_mc._x;
y_ziel = my_mc._y;
elasticity = 1.6; tempo = 10;
}
my_mc.onEnterFrame = function () {
x_wert = x_wert+vx;
y_wert = y_wert+vy;
vx = (vx+((x_ziel - 528 - x_wert)/tempo))/elasticity;
vy = (vy+((y_ziel - 546 - y_wert)/tempo))/elasticity;
my_mc._x = x_wert;
my_mc._y = y_wert;
}
my_mc.onMouseMove = function () {
x_ziel = _root._xmouse;
y_ziel = _root._ymouse;

if(x_ziel > 608){
x_ziel = 608;
}
if(x_ziel < 400){
x_ziel = 400;
}
if(y_ziel > 611){
y_ziel = 611;
}
if(y_ziel < 513){
y_ziel = 513;
}
}

as i say, its difficult to know exactly what you're after without sitting with you, as small changes in desired result can have significant differences in code, but anyway - take 2 - please see attached code for another attempt at what you're after...

the main problem with your code on the frame, by the way, was your use of onLoad. onLoad only works with movieclips connected to a class. you can actually only use onClipEvent(load) to run code when something on the stage is loaded... it's unnecessary anyway, because as soon as the code on that frame is processed the movieclip will have been loaded, so i just took that code out of the event handler. see livedocs

exactly, those are my adjustment for the movie clipe, witch is a pretty large mc

my first language is not english =/ so it´s hard for me to explain it better
but ill try =]

is simple
if u run this code u gonna see it has the limits, but, i wanted that movie clip to STOP whenever i get out of the limit, stop both _X and _Y at the same time

for example, if my _xmouse is > than 608, the _x of the movie clip stops, BUT the _y continues following the _ymouse, that´s the problem, i also want the _y of my movie clip to stop following the _ymouse.

it´s basically if i cross any of the limits, the mc will stop following mouse, in both_y and _x ways

and craig, thanks A LOT for your attention and help
i really apreciate it =]
