To drag within a limited area you use the startDrag() method, defining a rectangle to limit how far the object can be moved in any direction.  The startDrag is normally executed when a MOUSE_DOWN event occurs for the object that is to be dragged.  A MOUSE_UP event is what is used to trigger a call to the stopDRag() method, whereby the listener for that is usually assigned to the stage.

Search Google for a tutorial using terms like "AS3 drag drop tutorial" if you need detailed coding help to get started.
