Hey everyone,

I was wondering if someone could help put an end to my bitter struggle. I have a slider ball and its movement is contained and I want its position to correspond to the alpha level of another movieclip. I’ve been struggling with this for a while now and can’t figure it out…I’m sure this will be easy for many of you…so I’m hoping to figure something out. Here is the code:[AS] top = borderMC.\_y-borderMC.\_height/2+sliderMC.\_height/2;  
bottom = borderMC.\_y+borderMC.\_height/2-sliderMC.\_height/2;  
side = borderMC.\_x;  
sliderMC.onPress = function() {  
this.startDrag(false, side, top, side, bottom);  
};  
sliderMC.onRelease = function() {  
this.stopDrag();  
};  
sliderMC.onEnterFrame = function() {  
if (sliderMC.\_y == bottom) {  
alphaMC.\_alpha = 0;  
} else if (sliderMC.\_y == top) {  
alphaMC.\_alpha = 100;  
}  
};[/AS]  
Anyways if anyone could help that would be great!

Thanks
