Hello Folks,  
Done lots of reading here, but now I have a question.  
I followed this tutorial on making an infinite scroller:  
[http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/infinite.htm](http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/infinite.htm)  
and was wondering if there was a way to limit the animation to when the mouse moves into the boundary of the mc.  
I create the movie as outlined in tutorial, I publish, and load .swf into a blank mc holder in main movie. I would prefer if the scroller was only activated if 1.) the mouse was on the scrolling images/buttons mc itself, or 2.) at least within the confines of the clip it was created in, or loaded into.  
Is it possible to add a couple of new lines of script to achieve this?  
Any help would be greatly appreciated  
Please keep in mind I ain’t got no skills here, so I need it sorta spelled out if you know what I mean.  
Thanks in advance!
