I think my last post was extremely superfluous.

If anybody could lend some advice on constraining movement along the x axis in a simple thumbnail scroll contained within a static movie clip that would be appreciated.

Here is the clunky code [COLOR=Red](stripped down without the extraneous info).

[/COLOR]Thanks again!
