AS3 movieclip scrolling

Question

I ran into a problem which that I have a function "PlaceOneSpawn" which will spawn a MovieClip "A_Y" that will addChild into a movieclip Container.

Everything spawns and everything works, I spawn everything in the timeline Actions by calling the function.

I couldn't find a tutorial anywhere that shows a movieclip drag scroller (Like iOS scrolling) for vertical scrolling with .y limiter using a class.

Most of the tutorials out there only use a direct timeline action coding, I want to try to stay clear of that type of coding if possible.

Thanks in advance!

Tutorial... tutorial... none needs tutorials for such easy task. All you have to do is to declare a Point in which you store the mouse position when the user clicks/touches and then calculate the offsets for the container when the user moves the mouse/swipes. For example, if the user clicks at (200,200), and swipes down 50px, then your container's y position should be container.y-(200-50).
So as the user swipes down, the content goes up. And for a limit, just set a limit for the container's y position (must be negative).
