x axis control?

[bluewalrus]

I have this code and it works 90% of the way i want it to but the movie moves to whereever the mouse is on the x axis i want to limit it 20 like 15 pixels but can't seem to get it to work. Any Ideas? Thanks.

onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
_y += (_root._ymouse-_y);
}

Let me try to rephrase what you're looking for because I'm not clear on what you're trying to do.

You want a movieclip to move 20 pixels (or less) from it's original point in the same direction as the mouse?

see the navigation here (http://www.nike.com/nikeskateboarding/v3/) how it follows the mouse up and down i can get the up and down part but i dont get how to keep it on the same place on the x axis like say on the 21st pixel of x have the block start at. Mine it goes where ever the mouse first enters the movie

Have a look at the Object-Oriented Scrollbar tutorials on gotoAndLearn() (http://gotoandlearn.com/) and see if they don't help you better understand how to do this.

not exactley i want this movie clipped locked on the y axis and to follow the mouse without being clicked i have it scrolling just when it eneters frame it puts it self whereever it is on the y axis. I tried this but it does nothing but this is basically what i want it to be.

onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
_y += (_root._ymouse-_y);
_root.box.y==10;
}

box is the name of the movie

the same place on the x axis

locked on the y axis
Which is it?

[bluewalrus]

Sorry not very good at phrasing what i want. I want it locked at say the 10th pixel of x. I want it to be on that and then go only up and down the y axis never moving on the x even if the mouse moves off the movie. Similiar to a scroll bar but I dont want the mouse to have to be clicked or over for it to move. Here is a link of what my movie does right now. As you'll see if you repostion the mouse and refresh the box is in a different position each time.

basically like this i want the movie to do http://www.bluewalrus.net/block.jpg the blue is where i want it to be able to scroll the movie is the exact width of the blue.

Thanks.

This is extremely basic (so forgive me if I'm insulting your intelligence) but are you even setting a x coordinate?


_x = 10

hah yea that was it i wasn't sure if it was in the mouse i had to control or just that but that was it thanks.
